Is this possible?
I was honing away on 2 razors tonight, and my mind was wandering on what benefit slurry honing would give.
I figure that the slurry helps to smoothnot only the cutting edge, but the edges between the teeth.
See I noticed that when I had to use my 220 to get rid of minor chips that the edge that was left behind was quite jagged.
I would then go to the 1000 and try to get it as smooth as I could and set the bevel. But I realize that even the 1K leaves a jagged edge, just not as noticeable as the 220, and so on with the 4K and 8k.
Of course each step reduces the size of the teeth and smooths it more and more, but I figure the slurry is more effective.
So how can I do it without buying new Stones?
What if I take a Diamond knife sharpener, (grit of 600 on 1 side and 1200 on the other) and lap the Norton stones, but leave the material behind. Isn't that what a slurry is?
I tried it tonight, and under the loupe it sure looks impressive, a very slick looking edge.
I will be shaving with it tomorrow to see how it shaves, which is the real test.
Anyone else ever tried this?
