Thanked: 7Calling All PHIG Users!
I'm having a really hard time with my PHIG. Doesn't make any sense. I never thought another stone would give me more fits than my coticule, but this guy takes the cake!
The bevel is set, the razor caught a nice HHT 3-4 off my coticule yesterday. Shaved very very well. Outstanding. Today, I figured I would try my PHIG that hasn't been so good to me.
I've tried, to date:
slurry, no slurry, diluting quickly, diluting slowly, pressure, no pressure, torque, experiencing TONS of suction, experiencing no suction.
The HHT is ALWAYS ruined with this stone, and I'm not sure If I want to shave with this edge. I've read this stone can pop hairs the way it puts an edge on a razor. What am I not doing? Is my stone a bad one? It seems that way thus far, but I hate to think so.
Also—my arm hairs are so thin I never got the popping hair sensation—but on a boar hair it wouldn't pop. That's a problem for me.
You guys have any suggestions? Tips?
