Thread: New to me Washita Lily White

Going to start tomorrow by lapping one side. I have a nice piece f stainless bar ive had for years. Or does it need to be done with something else. I figure the stainless bar is smooth. Hell, its like chrome. But hard as hell.
I have about every hand tool you can think of so if anything works better let me know.

Burnished one side and put another razor on it. Set bevel on the coarser side. Flipped the stone to the burnished side and used it to smooth out the bevel a bit. Then went to the Trans Ark. TPT tells me its keen but not like my 20K. I expected that. The scope tells me its a passable edge. Not perfect but should be close enough. Shave test in the morning. This will be my first full natural stone honing progression. Crossing my fingers.

Failed!
The Razor was not even close enough to pass marginally. Back to the starting point. Hey, its all in fun anyway.

Never say failed. You learned something new!

OK, How about It wasn't what I was expecting. I will do better next time.
Does that sound better? LOL

Honing up one right now but as soon as I get it done I will break out the naturals again and give that one another go. I love honing. Gives me a chance to listen to my music and NOT be driving.
