    Default Passes on a Swaty

    How many passes do you do on your swaty as a finisher and how many passes when you're touching up a blade?

    thanks,

    JF

    I believe 4-6 or until ready.

    I can't open the file. So would 4-6 passes be enough to remove the scratches from the norton 8k?

    I used to use the smooth side (without the logo) after an 8k. I used it with water and however many passes I felt like it needed. Same as with any finishing stone.

    Awesome! So the finer side is the side without the logo?

    I do 10 laps on the side that DOESN'T have a logo. (3 line swaty)

    the side with the logo is completely unlappable on the stone I have, so I've never used it

    From your video I assume that you don't really change the amount of stroke if you're touching up a stainless steel razor either?

    I have a 3-liner and the directions didn't make mention of two sides. I think they're the same.

    not unless it really needs it, and it usually doesn't 'cause it holds its edge so well.
