Thread: Question for DMT users

I do a crude version of the HHT before leaving my DMT D6E.
However, I have noticed that many honers don't manage to get that degree of sharpness of the D6E.
Maybe it's because my DMT has seen so much use that it smoothened out a fair bit in comparison with a new DMT. I don't really know.
Either way, a bevel that's properly set at the 1200 grit level, should shave armhair very well, and even better if you wet your arm just a little bit.
Since you move to the Belgian Blue, after the DMT (that's also exactly what I do), it is double important that you go all the way with the DMT, because the Blue is definitely too slow to make up for neglected sharpness off the DMT.
If the edge, resulting from a progression of about 50 to 100 laps on a blue with slurry and after that, the same amount on a coticule with only water, is not entirely up to par, that is, IMHO, in the majority of cases caused by underhoning on the DMT. With this progression, you really must aim for the maximum on the DMT.

Best regards,
Bart.
