    Hmmmm...they sometimes take a few more strokes than normal, and I tend towards a natural finisher for them. They seem to like that.

    Mine hones up nicely, and I had one not too long come through, and it was a dream.

    Sorry, I'm not helping am I? Do you have a coti? Try it straight through from the 4k, dilute to water, and then finish on water.

    Thx maxi,tried a new Jnat today and it just did not happen for me with the wacker.
    Will try the coti in the mornmJnat worked to perfection with some others.
    Maybe something with the steel wacker uses.

    My guess would be the final heat treat.

    Wacker and Revisor tend to be rather chippy and can get harsh....

    These are on my "head straight to the full set of Naniwa SS's" list of razors... Once you get them dialed in though you will find they are worth the trouble...
