Thread: Thuri How should i use it?

When I get a new one like that, I normally try to do 10 no pressure X strokes with a light slurry followed by 10 no pressure X strokes with just water after an 8K and then strop and test shave. If the results are a little harsh, I then try the 10 strokes with water only and then strop and test. Sometimes depending on results, I will drop down to 5 strokes and see what happens.

Each stone like this has it's own personality and playing around with it will give you an idea of how it reacts.

Have fun.

Yep, that's just exactly how I'd do it! If I knew what the heck I was doing! Wish I had a Thuri!!! Hone Deficient, Howard

use it after the 16k stone . thats what i do the edge will be keen but the thuri should take the harshness out of a 16k edge imho

Thank you Everyone. I will try it out.
