Thanked: 1Norton 220/1000 + 4000/8000 + flattening stone = bad results
ok
after a year or so trying to hone my razors (never got super good result) with the norton combo 4000/8000 flattened with sandpaper I decided to upgrade the kit getting the flattening stone + 220/1000
after flattening (the 4000/8000 was really bad apparently) I started with an already "not so good" razor, still capable of shaving but not confortable
I have noted the 4000 side to be very very rough...why? maybe not enough running water while flattening?
did pyramind (only using 4000/8000) as from 15 laps and finished it on a chinese stone
result was a razor blade in the center and far from good on heel and point
this morning I got the stones that I left drying and, especially the chinese one was also rough in half of its extension while the other side was more polished (not as good as before when I used sandpaper)
so from here we move
1-norton flatenning stone: is it a bummer?
2-sandpaper technique: is it really superior
3-how do I bring this razor back to life?
