I posted about some honing problems earlier, but can't even find my own thread.
Anyways, I posted about using a Naniwa 1k to set a bevel, followed by a coticule, then an Escher. I was trying the dilucot method and getting a razor that could pop hairs off my arm, really pop them, but wouldn't pass HHT, and more importantly, wouldn't shave.
I'm in the same place. Same wapi. It has even bevels on both sides, one is a little bigger. I still can't get this razor shaving.
I think JoeD suggested that I try to dilute more slowly and then do 100-300 laps on a coticule with just water before moving on to the Escher. I tried this and still, the razor is in the same place. It really really pops arm hairs but won't shave.
Does anyone have any more suggestions about where to go from here? I hope I haven't left out any necessary info, but I can always post it if you ask questions.
I'm trying to stick to this coticule. Naniwas are second on my list of purchases that I'm going to make, so I just want to learn this while I wait for those.
Thanks
