You got me on the garnet content. Still, 35 percent means a lot of the slurry isn't garnet.

We've had the discussion about different garnet sizes before, but I can't seem to find the thread. I don't think the crystals are the same size. Try honing on a Belgian blue without a slurry, and do the same with a coticule. The Belgian blue edge will shave differently. It's a nice, smooth edge but no where near as sharp as the coticule edge. Garnet concentration couldn't account for that.
