Thanks Johnathan. I've used with oil to water before, but after meeting Nelson and Lynn, they gave me a couple things to try at the meet up. The glycerin is a neat trick on these stones, and pushes it to its limits. Reminds me of years ago, when all I had was a single stone. It was my grandfathers,passed onto my father, then to me. They told me then to oil first, then water. Even though it isn't a razor quality stone, I learned how to tweak it out, then strop with compounds. It was a sufficient edge, but nothing compared to with what I can achieve now with the proper hones.
