    Default Different grit nagura

    I was wondering what yalls opinions are on using a different grit naniwa nagura stone on a naniwa hone , like maybe a 2000 nagura on a 1000 hone for example ? Is there benafits to different combinations of hones and naguras ? Is it benaficial to just use the same grit for slurry ?

    I think it's an absolute blast to mix slurry's! The same way as it's a blast to cook without a recipe! Especially when it works!! Alas, when you are trying to recreate or modify, it adds a level of complexity far above what would be normal. Which sucks when problem solving.

    It's whatever you are comfortable with.

    I'm not sure I see the benefit in that. At 1k and 2k, you're cutting a bevel. If I'm using slurry here, its to get it done faster. On the 1k stone, 1k slurry. I don't see how 2k slurry helps. Run a DMT over the 1k and get it done. I will typically use slurry one more time at 8k because I like the way it polishes out the scratches from the early grits before the edge is developed on water. After that, no more slurry for me. But in each instance, I have a purpose for using the slurry. Give it a shot to experiment but I'm not sure you will see a lot of difference between 1k slurry on a 1k stone vs 2k slurry on a 1k stone. It might be a difference without distinction.

    On my Naniwa 1K I use the brown slurry stone, which I believe is 600. I do not use it often but that is where I go when I want faster cutting, like in restoration work when setting the initial bevel. When I progress though I just use what slurry is left on the hone after cleaning it with a DMT, until I get to finishing, and then I may do all kinds of things with slurry looking for that perfect combination.q

    I've used Iyoto nagura on a 220 Shap GS, the grey carbon version, on a test razor, to view the scratch pattern differences. I think it sped up the process & gave a hazy finish due to the mixed particle sizes.
    It's a bit of fun & possibly a way to utilise a minimalist stone collection in different ways but as many here I usually just reach for a single stone these days.

    I just kinda thought it may be kinda a way to make an in between grit like instead of going 8to 12 maybe go 8 to 8 with 10k slurry then to 12

    Absolutely no need. 8 -> 12 is an easy transition.
