    Thanks Wirm, I read through all his stuff. It's really awesome what he and his wife did. Still a bit confusing, but the ID doesn't really matter, just wondering how to use it now. It did well with water, but thinking of using oil, as I'm using arks as well. I guess it'll be ok either way right?

    I even use them dry, they leave a sharp edge dry ime
    Also on my razors I use them dry from time to time, then go to the Yellow Coticule, which smooths it out a bit
    Bit it reaches maximum keenness / sharpness on the BBW
