    Strange story about slurry:

    My entire honing success can be linked to slurry. I started with naniwa setup and couldn't even refresh an edge. I was later given a BBW, suddenly I was getting great edges, while not the sharpest they were very smooth. I took this success and purchased a coticule; same thing, the edges were about the same as off the BBW. I continued to attempt my hand at the naniwa system to no avail. I went to a meet where Glen spent some time with synthetics using slurry. I went home and started getting repeatable success first using slurry as a one stone hone method on the naniwas, then later a thinned slurry at the start of each grit in the progression. I can now honestly say that I chose to use the slurry as I or the razor pleases and as a general rule it usually pleases me.

    Now I'm into japanese stones fairly heavy; the slurry there is totally different.

    Double N: I just got a new polisher, let's scare the hair into not growing back. Plus I'm off for a while.
