Well the 1/4 hollow Wosty was the first to the hones today. Under magnification I found a bunch of micro chips to the edge.
Start off 1 layer of tape followed by about 600 circles ish on the 4K with about 50 rollingX's just to remove them and set the bevel under heavy pressure. Ugh!
Next replace tape. I then did a progression of descending X's on the 4K starting at 12 passes then 10 then 8 etc. medium presure
Replace tape again. Now 4K/8K pyramid's using the x stroke starting at 10 then 8 etc. light presure
replace tape yet again....at this point in time...BTW nice vid Glen on stone lapping.
Replace tape.... again.... 8K stone with about 40 passes followed by 2 passes on the 4K. Just blade weight now.
Yup you guessed it, replaced tape again. Now was strictly by "feel" as to how it gave feedback so I think it was about 20ish passes on the 8K.
Remove tape and cleaned the blade. 12 passes on HPF strop then 20 passes on SRD webbed nylon strop and finish with 60 passes on SRD IV English Bridle.
The result????
Tested my thigh as the hair here is coarse like my beard. They jumped off with no feeling of the blade to my leg. I'll know for sure when I test shave in the morning but my brain is going into overdrive thinking about this. If needed I'll touch it up when I hone the Frameback in the morning.
