Hey Jerry, were talkin hundreds of passes with Thurigan, and Escher's. Like 300, give or take 25.
First 100 with slurry n pressure, then dilute to clean water on the second 100, then the last on water with lighter n lighter strokes. U know what my edge felt like, now you can chase it down.
Keep at those Arks, they make for a nice "Natural" progression to the Thurigan, If you care to spend the time, like I do.
Like a bottle of Heinze 57, the sweet anticipation. :tu
