Point taken.
I mean, I don't have to break out my Nortons, or Naniwa's or Coticule, or what have you and do a full blown honing session, that you would normally do with a dull blade....3 lapps on Swaty imo, is like a PM, Preventative Maintenance, and it does work. It keeps my blades shave ready, as I said, for well over a year.
TBH, I haven't done it for a while now, because I never get to use my other hones. I've been using Glen's Naniwa system with very good results...Whatever works for you. In any case, That's not what this thread is about.....
Let's get this back on track, and help the OP.
