Will see bout some honing solution at some point to improve even more. Also tempted to try oil. Would ballistol or similar work?
AJ once recommended something called GT 85, which appears to be a country cousin to WD 40 and its ilk. I have never tried it. Had a Welsh slate once. Decent rock. I prefer others though.
