Thank you and to everyone for their help and comments. Please don't even begin to think I'm UK's honing expert!! I'll need a few more months of trial and error even to get close to some of you guys....

Yes totally agree with this, after being satisfied with the TNT at the 1000 level I'll do another 10 x strokes before moving up the hones. This would be the last test I'd do on the blade until I...

Yes you're right but initially the grab was too much when I compared it to a blade that had been honed by an expert over here. If you keep testing the blade on your thumb nail it will eventually...

Ok so last post on this thread from me. shaved with the razor this morning, was it perfect, no not quite, but it was comfortable and loads better that the first time I tried it after honing from...

I think I'm starting to fully understand the TNT. when I'm using the 1000 Naniwa to set the bevel I'm stopping when the blade starts to grip as it's drawn across the back of my thumb nail. Now if I...

Thanks for this exactly the help I was after. I don't think I'm that far away then. I've got a 10x eye loupe so I'll get myself a 30x one. The only thing I've noticed when looking for one is that the...

I've read every post on this and details in the library and now I'm confused!!
I can't use the TPT as my pads are to hard.
I've tried the TNT and thought that I'd got it right, but now I'm not...
