I had already lapped my Swaty stone using 40 micron 3M film, but after reading about how the DMT's work better after they're broken in, I went ahead and re-lapped my Swaty with both of the DMT's to break them in and give the swaty a really smooth surface. Now I'm thinking I was only successful at making different parts of the DMT's cut at different rates.
That is a *very* good thought, and quite possibly exactly what was happening. I've been avoiding the area on each stone where I had the problem with the sound and draw pressure changing tonight, but tomorrow I'll check them out again... Thanks!
Man, you guys are gonna have me honing yet!
AFDavis11, I have been honing non-stop after reading your last post. I now have the very sharpest edge I've put on a razor yet. My strokes are still slow as cold mollasses, but I don't care; the blade is sharp. I know the HHT is very controversial, but FWIW, it's passing it the entire length of the blade.
Looking forward to tomorrow's shave...
