I need some help. I just received my new set of Naniwa hones I puchased at SRD. I got the value pack w/ a 5k,8k, and 12k stone along with a 1k stone. I have a Wade and Butcher and a Red Point razor I have been working on. My problem, besides being new to honing, is that I cant get them to pass the hanging hair test. I feel like I make good progress through the 5k stone, edge feels "sticky" to my thumb pad. Then I feel like I lose that progress on the 8k and 12k stones. I have followed a pyramid posted on here that refered to using a Norton 4k/8k stone and used my 5k and 8k stone in that progression. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am missing or not doing? Any help would be much appreciated!!! Thanks
