Lynn’s DVD - Honing Clarification Needed
Hi everybody,
I bought Lynn’s fantastic DVD and I just finished watching the section on honing.
I’m IMPRESSED! It’s like the Straight Razor Bible on DVD. Best $20 I could have possibly spent when getting started.
However, there is one aspect of this tutorial I was unclear about. Lynn explained about the various types of stones, and while he primarily used the Norton 4000/8000, he also mentioned the 12K varieties for finishing/polishing prior to stropping. I bought a Norton 4000/8000 when I got my razor and I plan to grab myself a 12K too (Belgian Yellow Coticule), but later in the tutorial Lynn mentioned the finishing pastes one can use with flat bed leather strops; like the .25 and .5 micron pastes, red and green, etc.
I’m unclear if Lynn meant that these pastes should/can be used after the 12K stone, or if they were an alternative to the 12K stone. Any advice?
Thanks!
