    Update: tried thick slurry on a 5/8 extra hollow that previously test-shaved great off the Norton--the shave was excellent and very smooth. Just for fun, I'm going to try this 3 ways:
    • Jim's way exactly, finishing on thick slurry (worked great today)
    • Thick slurry & then diluting to water
    • Thick slurry, followed by water only w/o a dilution stage


    As I mentioned, I tried using thin slurry, but the edges were always harsh. I'm thinking on my stone, thick slurry (allowed to break down) is the most important step, & the subsequent stages will mostly affect feel. We will see.

    Hang on. Even man made Diamonds are made from carbon which is organic, therefore natural
