Thread: Finisher after the Naniwa 12k

Razors do shave great after the Nani 12k and some good stropping. Generally now! On blades with particularly hard steel I go 5 laps on balsa with .25 diamond, 20 on Croox on suspended balsa after the 12k followed by the leather.
On old English or German blades, I go a bit on 12k and a lot of Escher blue/green followed by croox and stropped good.
Most 20th century blades respond perfectly with the 12k and stropping alone. It gets so you can tell what is required as one passes the 4k range. They all are, of course, all different!
Until you have honed all types several times, You won't see. Sticking to your favorite type of razor (grind/size) will bring you closer to success quickly instead of dealing with the other, many variations.
