Ahhhhhhhh see there is the rub guys, that list would simply be my opinion as a Razor Restorer and as somebody that really can't wrap their brain around natural stones at all (my OCD does not allow for the variable grit range)
So my list would be very bias, it is actually a great thing we have here on the forum, somebody posts their problem, and they get several different opinions, You get Lynn's and mine which we do things fairly similar, you get Randy, Bud, Utopian & Jimmy's and they have a little more open opinion, you get the coticule master himself Bart who gives a whole different perspective... MParker & Alan who have put together huge amounts of info on this forum for everyone to learn from... Howard and Old School who can talk rocks for hours on end...
I am sure I am forgetting quite a few people who help immensely on honing threads... (I just woke up give me a break) With all that knowledge answering threads it gives each person many choices on which way to go....
If the OP starts with what information they are after, it just narrows it down much better....
There was a thread just this week where the OP was asking about why the edge was not biting into the stone, after 10 or so posts all about the merits and detriments of taping the spine and the use of double bevels... I finally asked the questions of razor??? stone??? and where in the cycle was the razor starting???
We all found out that this was a complete waste of time as the razor was a Paki, the stone was a 10k and he would have been there until next year trying to sharpen it....
