Testing a new honing sequence
Hi to all SRP guys!
Last evening I made a test with some of my stones, to see if I could codify a good honing sequence.
Checked the job with my (cheap) usb microscope. Tomorrow will test on shave.
I used:
Razor: Estas 51 with a lowered blade (because of a big chip).
Stones: King 1K - Italian "no name" Slate (prefinisher) - Nakayama Kiita Koppa (Lev. 4,5)
Naguras: 1) Sho-Honyama (Lev. 3/3,5) - 2) Shobudani (Lev. 3,5/4)
Small (and used) Eze Lap 1200 grit diamond plate
Preliminary (visual) results:
1) The pre finish stone doesn't work well enough if using plain water only
2) The Sho-Honyama's slurry used on the previous stone makes a good job.
3) The Shobudani's (lev. 3,5/4) slurry doesn't seems finer than the Nakayama's diamond slurry.
4) Need to test a finer/harder Tomo after diamond slurry on the Nakayama.
Comments & Suggestions welcomed! :)
