Thanked: 4822So if there was a milky slurry on the stone you should be using just enough pressure to have the edge slide under the slurry, so if you ease up just a touch on the pressure it should leave some behind. I also agree that if this isn't a razor that is somewhat expendable, perhaps you should rethink the strategy. here are quite a few shave ready razors for not a lot of cash in the classifieds regularly. My logic is that you really should learn to hone on a razor that is free of geometry issues and can take and hold a very nice shaving edge. There are quite a few for $50-75 that are in the classifieds often and periodically even cheaper than that. I think that would be your best avenue. Also if you could sit down with someone that would be the best. A 30X loupe is handy for checking to see if your scratch patterns are even too. It goes really well with the magic marker.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!
