Another dumb question

Thanks for sharing all your "Rituals" with me. I just get sort of nervous about damaging the edge while im trying to dry mine off.

If you are using the Japanese waterstones be sure to develop a slurry first. They cut much faster that way.

When changing from the 4 to the 8k what is the best way to stop grit contamination? At the moment I'm rinsing in water and carefully wiping with toilet paper:D Is it ok to do this or am I at risk of dulling the edge:shrug:

I could't get a norton over here so I have a king brand japanese water hone. Cuts sooooo sloooow.
