I've had mine in Simple Green for a couple of days and the colour hasn't changed at all.

I'm starting to think that mine is naturally a different colour to yours. Unless it's the camera yours...

You made my stone feel bad so i have stuck in some simple green for a good soak.

Wow! I thimk I should maybe soak mine again and for longer, yours looks much cleaner than mine.

From what I understand, after contacting Dan's about a year ago. The new Washita's that they sell are not like the vintage ones.

Mine is a vintage Pike Norton No 1, lapped and dressed to 180 sic...

I took my new super sharp Ark edge that i finished and shaved with yesterday and gave it 10 laps on a Coticule with plain water before I shaved today.

It's still stupid sharp but also smooth and...

I just shaved with my new Ark edge, what can I say. It was laser sharp, make sure you can hear the wife watching telly downstairs so she won't come in and talk kind of sharp.

Final words, sharp,...

OK, My Ark edge razor is done.

The hinge on that Kinfolks that I am using as my test razor has a really loose hinge,...

Well, I just had a shave with my 600 Washita edge.

I remember one of the restoration and honing geniuses here telling me that a Washita was very versatile and could get pretty high grit...

I've just finished the 600 side of my Washita, again I followed your method exactly.

30 x sets of 10 half strokes with Smiths, then lightened the pressure for 15 sets of 5 x half strokes and...

Maybe their should be a support group for HAD, I said support group not enablers group.

Oh what the heck, we should have an enablers goup too.

I felt the same way about my synths.

My Nortons are great stones but I wasn't a fan of soaking them before I could begin, when the honing mood takes me i just want to get going.

I already had a...

I have in the past shaved with a 1k synth edge to prove to myself that the bevel was set properly.

I followed your method exactly.

I have one side of my Washita 180 sic, the other side is 600...

Usually 1 - 3 - 8 - 12k Naniwa SS or 1k Naniwa SS - Coticle

Lat weeekend I had a Skype one on one with a member in Florida on Arks, now Washita - med Ark - Trans Ark is in the mix too.
