Hone of the Day
Rainy Cold Drizzle, Flat Tractor Tire
HOTD:
Nice Fire going in the Wood stove, honing buddies laying on the couch next to me
And a few beauts to get sharp and smooth
Man I know I going to have to change that tractor tire later but for now I am staying warm dry and rubbing steel on stones
Please feel free to post about your HOTD

Today my vintage Les lat coticule came in unexpectedly. I lapped it and polished it. Took a razor that was shaving well and did water only strokes until the feedback told me to stop. Smooooooth. Can't wait for the shave later!

Solitarysoldier: I'm fairly new (not to life but to straight razor shaving & honing), this is the first I seen polishing a stone. Could you explain that to a willing learner?

From Zulu Grey's FAQ:
If you would like to create the same finish on the honing side of your Zulu Grey that it had when you received it, simply lap the hone to an acceptable finish say 600-1000 grit, then dry the hone completely and ‘polish’ the honing surface with a small piece of 1500 grit waterpaper (use it dry)."Aw nuts, now I can't remember what I forgot!" --- Kaptain "Champion of lost causes" Zero
