Other question:
whenever I create slurry with a tomo nagura or a diamond plate, I always get a few bigger chunks of stone in my slurry that can be felt and feel scratchy/thick when i hone on it. They disappear after honing on them for a while. and then I get a nice smooth slurry. Is this normal or no? It certainly feels like it messes up my edge.
No matter what I do I seem to get a loose grit in my slurry, soft of hard tomo, soft or hard stone, no pressure or with pressure with any combination possible.
