    Handheld jnat, two tomo nagura I am playing with they are both soft and fine. The one on the left is less fine but seems faster the one on the right is more fine but a little slower. Both refine an edge very nicely!

    A quick bevel set on the Norton Lily White Washita and it was ready to finish. A phenomenal stone. I spent some extra time and laps on the Black Arkansas and was rewarded. The Worcester took a great edge. Very smooth yet sharp.

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    Scales were too heavy so I shaved them down in different spots to lighten it up.

    Vintage Thuringian. My first attempt on touching up an edge on a stone.

    Playing around with a few stones progression today. Tam-O-Shanter > Purple Welsh (Yellow Lake?) > unknown tan colored hone I mounted on a piece of floor tile. I honed this Wade & Butcher in the picture (rescaled old regrind), also a Joseph Elliot, and a Genco. The tan stone is certainly a finishing hone, a soft silky stone that auto-slurries slightly with clear water, last finishing strokes done with a drop of dish soap. The Tam-O-Shanter is a marvelous hone and is able to easily bridge a large gap in the middle/upper middle range. A fun session.
