Another endorsement of Euclid's suggestion.
And that diamond plate will serve double duty for tuning up your kitchen knives etc. - this can make you even more popular...
I'm thinking that many here who have large collections of rocks would agree that this would be their "If I can only have one stone and something to clean/lap it with" rig...
Funny how those ADs work. I do everything completely backward. Learned to hone a razor before I learned to strop (and to some degree shave) with one. Acquired a bunch of hones, then came to the realization that it would be awfully difficult to properly test 5 different finishing stones on 2 razors. And now my strops are starting to multiply too...
No matter which you catch first, it seems one inevitably follows the other.
Congrats on your success micksonline! Hope many more follow it! Have fun.
I resemble Marshal's shaving journey to a very large degree, but then again, I've always been "Abby Normal." :hmmm:
Congrats on your first honing success. Depending how severely RAD takes hold of you, you might find yourself becoming a fairly decent honer before too long. Fair warning. ;)
There are a few advantages. It's cheaper than the DMT. It's two sided, unlike the DMT. The diamond patterning on the 400 side allows it to clear grit a little better. Unlike the DMT, it has less, if any, need to be broken in.
If you've already got the DMT 325, then no, there is no particular advantage for having it. If you only have the Naniwa 12k, then you really shouldn't need a second diamond plate.
Thanks!
I do also have Naniwa 1K (traditional), and 3/8k Superstone. Same with them, that the DMT 325 is fine?
Yes its just fine
Yup .
