    Did these tonight. Got plenty more to go. Will give them a test shave in the morning.

    I too like the Genco. I have three and they are all very good. I consider them some of the best buys in my collection.

    I really like India stones. Carborundum stones seem to leave deep scratches like diamonds but those India stones leave a nice fine edge. IMO
    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    Honing last week sucked. I tried the Gok20k but was getting chippy edges even with jointing and going back to 8k. Next I tried the Ohzuku and the shave wasnt great. So when it all fails I go back to the green Nakayama, raised slurry with 1200 Atoma this time and worked all the way down to water.
    This AM the shave was perfect with the 6/8 Dovo. Alum didn't sting a bit. I know that HHT is subjective but after stropping on the fire hose and then the Kanayama this razor is giving silent ones.

    Just a thought. All the extra work after the 20k may have solved the problem rather than any one stone being the solution.

    Slurry work on fast cutting Jnat finishers can often "heal" an edge especially after restorations where one can sometimes miss clearing up early stage bevel work.

    Finished up some Japanese blades on some jnats.
    A couple Saito creations, the SK3 and the Gloria, a Trade Mark, and a folding kami 'Hatori Deluxe' that seems to be made of very hard steel..
    And also put my Riga to the Escher to clean up the edge a skosh.

    Some very sharp edges, and a nice way to finish a long weekend.
    Cheers men.
