Thread: belgium blue

For me personally, if I feel the need to do some honing on the blue, it's blue with slurry until I'm happy and then I move on to the yellow with water only. If the razor doesn't need much work but rather I'm just trying to freshen up an otherwise fine edge, I'll not bother with the blue and go straight to the yellow with water... if it seems to be taking a bit too long, I would raise a slurry on the yellow and continue using the same stone until the edge improved and then rinse the hone and go back to plain water. I would not bother using slurry on both hones if I'm using both on the same razor, so it would be like above, blue w/slurry, then Yellow, no slurry. You can of course experiment with different things yourself... after all, you are the only person in the world with those two exact hones, they might just respond differently than my two.

Christian and yes, I'm aware my name is not Rob, but I like to answer things anyway!
