"I am slowly converting the 3-dozen or so blades in my rotation to a "Thin to Thick" regimen on my Surgical Black as I outlined in post #2434 in Hone of the Day, but here is the shorter version:
1. Start dry
2. Running water to the "sticking point"
3. Add a drop of dish soap and keep going
4. Wash thoroughly and dry; add oil (WD-40 for me) to finish
I'm getting my best edges ever playing around with this.
I'd be interested in hearing how others do in trying this if anybody does it.

Edit:
I just realized from looking back through this thread that the 1st 2 steps of this I learned from JKatzman's earlier post, which I just expanded on to see how far I could push it with the dish soap and the oil-maybe overkill, but my face isn't complaining."
