    Some of these American steel razors can be a bit tricky to get them going...

    Haven't written this in awhile But:


    When you hit a stone wall (pun intended) stop, relax take a breath, then change something...

    Add slurry, subtract slurry, add 1 layer of tape (to what is there now), change stones, go one grit higher, go one grit lower, change the stroke from Circles, to Japanese, to heel forward, to 45 degree, add the second hand, subtract the second hand, but don't keep doing the same thing if there is no progress...

    Move in 20 laps increments ie: do 20 laps and check, if it didn't help switch someting, and do more 20 laps, keep changing until something bites into the edge and you get a scratch pattern difference...
