Quick question. I got my Norton 4k/8K and a Chinese Water Finishing stone. However, I don't have any slurry stones.
Are the absolutely necessary, or can you just use wet/dry sandpaper to rub on the stone to create a slurry?
It's a pain for me to try track down and purchase a slurry stone for my hones if they're not needed. Not to mention, after purchasing those plus my two razors (primary and backup), my spending fund on equipment is depleted! LOL
