Thanked: 8The light shines
Hurray..my Nortons 4/8K arrived. I lapped it and then applied a razor that I could never get shave ready.
I only did a 10 passes on the 8K, paddle stropped with 1 and 0.5 and guess what ?.
I have only been using a 6000 jap stone and wasn't getting anywhere, now I know why you guys rave about a Nortons.
Can't wait for my Corian and pastes to arrive from Handamerican. Scarry sharp system.
I thought my technique was ok but for the life of me I couldn't get that nice feel. The 8k feels very soft and smooth on the edge when honing btw.
How often should I lap the Nortons ?.
Cheers
Gary
