I included the quote on the end just so you can see what has happened so far. As I stated the shave was harsh and I got thinking. Laugh as much as you want I might be reinventing the wheel. LOL I got thinking of included angles, pyramid systems, polishing grooves, etc etc. Here is what I did starting with the Friday that had been taped with one layer. I used no tape. That changed the angle from 18.29 to 17.38 degrees.
On the 4k
25 "hard"
30 "light"
I almost cut the end off my hone to make a slurry stone but because I have a combo and if it didn't work I didn't want to have a short hone. So I made a slurry from the 8k and caught it in a cup. I then poured it on the 4k. It wasn't super thick to begin with so I didn't dilute it as I went.
50 light on the 8k slurry 4k side
Then 30 very light on the 8k, just water
75 laps on my fire hose strop
and 50 on the Latigo
I shouldn't have test shaved It had only been 15 hours from my previous! LOL It felt much smoother than before. I should wait at least 24hrs to find out if that is because it is dull.
