I am looking to get into honing and doing the youtube research came across this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNniO...f_cIe9RqxQSzUA
Couple of crazy things. First he goes from dulling on glass to popping hairs with one slurry and one dilution. That is crazy, is this possible with JNATs? All of them?
How about the arm stropping, SUPER crazy.
Every stone is different even if they are called the same. A jnat is IMO the most capable stone for the keenest edge for a razor. Dulling on glass with a shave ready razor is easy to put back into shaving sharp as there's not as much metal to move as setting a bevel from scratch. Its a learning curve though so if you do get in, be prepared for some frustration. Its all worth it in the end IMO. You would need a set of nagura stones and a tomo and a bevel setter unless you have a lot of free time to set one on a jnat.
Did he....just strop it on his ARM!?
Can you get the same edge if you use synthetics and end up with just tomo slurry on the awase?Quote:

eGad! I just watched the video with the stropping part. :eek:
Not only did he strop on his arm, it was a rather fast strop at that
Screw that:gl:
No no. The proper sentiment is you will only screw that up once.Quote:
