The slurry after this stage goes straight to polish. Try it this way first. You may have to refresh with a Tomo or create a little more with your diamond plate. But one step at a time. You may also...

Set a bevel on your 1k. Raise a diamond plate slurry on this stone. Once the 1k stria are wiped spray off the slurry onto your finisher. And work that and see. That's exactly what I do with mine.

I have a nakayama iromono that has su. Its very fast and delivers a softer edge than i like so i use it between my 1k and finish. This stone if its fast enough can bridge your 1k to your finisher.

Sounds like the seller did you no favor. That's why it's important to buy from a reputable seller with a return policy even if you pay a few dollars more.

Don't buy any more! Stick with what you got! I'm sure that bad boy will deliver soon enough.

I've had a few dozen. Some are better than others. But out of these they all delivered the goods, again some better than others. Start slow. Hit your highest synthetic and with a small slurry try to...

Pay attention to feedback. That sticky sensation. Once you learn that from your stone you will know when to stop by feel.

I agree about the linen. But in this case he's trying to get a little more out of the edge. I have a few softer finishers maruichis that need a little vigorous linen. As well as coticules. I think...

I don't like the kanayama cloth! Lol. I have a Scrupleworks flax strop (clean) that does add a little more pepper. I tried more than a few vintage waxed linen. And they were all pasted with who knows...

You could add a drop of glycerin in the mix to squeeze some more out of it. My shubo can deliver a ridiculously keen edge. So I typically use more slurry and dilute less to get what I want out of it....

What I found that works great after a few years of playing around with complicated naguras is 1k to mid-range stone. (Softer Nakayama iromono) with diamond plate slurry. Work that and then spray the...

You can get a very sharp smooth edge from one slurry after a 5k or so. Tomo or diamond plate slurry. 8k to botan is like going from 8k to 1k.

I have all the.naguras but don't use them any more. I typically do a 1k to mid-range jnat to finish. A 1k to 5k to one Tomo should deliver. Simple but it works. if your shubo is like mine it has very...
