I don't completely dry it off, I just run my finger over it to make it not-so-messy. The Norton webpage says that I'm supposed to sharpen my "edged tools" until I see a wire edge, and THEN move to the next finer stone, but everyone here says that's a no-no. Just trying to separate fact from "friction".LOL
Thank you very much for the clarification above, and if you can help with the above conundrums I would be very appreciative.
