The 2 razors:
A W&B Celebrated that I got earlier last year, used until it needed refreshing; put it away instead to enjoy new arrivals. It had a progression of Norton 4/8-----Shapton 16000-----Strop, prior to last night. I did a grid on the PHIG and flattened twice with a DMT 325. I decided to slurry the PHIG with the DMT and 15 X strokes; then cleaned the PHIG with the DMT, then 15 X strokes
with only a damp PHIG------------then strop. This was the experiment.
The second razor is a GEORGE WOSTENHOLM & SON - SHEFFIELD Pipe Razor, last honed on a Shapton 16000, it has been in the rotation for a few months, refreshed with 12 x strokes on a damp PHIG----------then strop.
Stone of recent purchase: Carborundum 112 x4, 118, 124, 117, 183-Slip
