Whenever I sharpen and hone I have always had trouble feeling that stickiness using a wet TPT but have no trouble with a dry TPT, and so often I use a dry thumb to check my edges. Even then I will use my index finger to check edges because they feel more sensitive to the feel of the edge. Is this normal or is it possible that I am not doing something right in my honing in order to get a sticky wet TPT? I am still a noob trying still to get my Thumb calibrated in. :P
