OK, my 4/8k slip stones arrived today, so I'm going to give them a try tonight. Couple more questions here:
FiReSTaRT mentioned that it would take more pyramids with these than on the Norton. Why is that? Are they less aggressive than the Norton, even though they have the same grit?
Second, should I start out doing pyramids, or should I just work on the 4000 stone for a while and then start pyramids?
(I'm not too concerned about wasting metal on this razor, since it's pretty basic and only cost me about $1.50 on eBay.)
Meanwhile I'll start saving for that Norton...
Thanks,
Josh
