Thread: Escher instructions

I'm still stuck like this: on making slurry like "lather".

I think it is interesting. Apparently there was no use of the term: slurry

It's not a slurry stone, but a rubber; which does not produce slurry, but lather.

So in other contemporary sources that refer to using a stone with lather- what did they really mean?

Exactly my thought ?????

I have heard tell of barbers using shaving lather on barber hones. Never heard of it done on an Escher, but certainly possible. Typically I just use water these days and the razors will produce a fine slurry. I have found that for a final polish, this works better than generating a thicker slurry with a nagura type stone.
