Thread: Finishing strokes: when, with what and how many?

These are my findings too. I don't do anything special to the edge, I lighten up the pressure as much as I can while still making nice contact with my finisher. With my 10k SS I am experimenting with stroke counts, but I usually do around 30 laps after a 8k Snow white. With my Jnat, I start with a 8k edge, and go to light slurry diluting slowly as I go, I finish with about 10 strokes on clear water. With my coti I do the same as the Jnat, and that works just fine. If I had to guess, I make about 100 strokes total, maybe more maybe less depending on the razor, but I have a small coti, and the Jnat is a slow and hard stone in razor size.
