Thread: Options to improve keenness

i've dulled a couple of razors today and honed them right up with slurry and diluting method and perfect i have got my self a 8x3 select kosher ariving to morrow i will try it out. So my slurry does'nt run out or start to get thick i hone well before the end of hone that way you keep your slurry on the surface and not pushing it of the hone as much.I also find you have to get it right before you move on making sure the bevel is good and your thumb grips it nicley if it does that all the way along the egde thats when start my diluting method and then the sharpening realy begins at the end of honing i take a chest hair and if it just passes i no once stropped my razor will pop hht very easily and then for real keenes i do 10 laps chr.5 optional then my edge mows hair down shave may not last as long but i just touch up on coticule and its fine. I've tryed dry finishing on one razor today seemed to work as well passed hht easier straight of hone i tested hht wet coti then 15 laps dry and hht was better.
