I have a nicely lapped stone. I received some advice to try lapping after 30 minutes of honing. If I am to do this with a norton flattening stone. What kind of pressure should I be using.
I ask because I had trouble getting the factory surface off of the stone and the stone flat with the norton before and wondering if my technique is to blame. I soake the Norton and the lapping stone for about 20 minutes, then I simply rub the stones together back and fourth with light pressure. I sually do this for a couple of minutes.
I have a dovo and a wapieinca that I am trying to test on arm hair. They will shave arm hair but not quite pop them at the tops and since I have this nice hone I want to try and get them as sharp as I can. I am shooting for the hanging hair test as I have not had a razor pass this test yet, and my blade seems to dull quite quickly during a shave.
