I was hesitant to use the linen without any additives but do you recommend giving it a go? I am not too bother if it wrecks the edge I have to take it back to a lower grit stone as I was going to do that anyway... The blade has a small but noticeable knick in it.
I usually will run my blade over newspaper after I have it on the stones then I will strop on leather. I was just curious too see if I could keep it off the hones for a longer period of time. I does appear to be sharper but the shave test will reveal much more.
Was a very interest read too cudarunner.
