UPDATE: Sure enough, the DMT slurry did not give the final edge, while the tomonagura slurry did. Touched up both & actually slightly overdid it on both--too much time on water only I think. I then...

On my stone, sticking is not too bad so long as very light pressure is used, the razor is ready to be finished and the surface of the stone is not glazed. Maybe I'm the odd one on this, but I hadn't...

Good analogy! :tu

I'd sort of like to get the 2k & even the Atoma 400 as well (worried about the DMT 325 sticking to the 12k), but I don't know if I can swing it, money wise. You can probably avoid removing too much...

That it is! :D

AFAIK all Kyoto (finishing) hones have friable grit particles that break down in thickness rather than size (Max, Alx & So say they do & I believe them), but the question I think...

That method works well on some stones (typically slower ones) & not too well on many others. A lot of stones will either slurry-dull or swiss cheese the edge if you use that much slurry for too...

You've got me leaning toward the pros now: thinking 1,5,12 should do it. Do you soak them @ all or do you just spray water on them & hone? And how are they to lap? I guess what I'm asking is do...

JimR did a translation of his protocol-I think it's called "Honing Razors & Kamisori". Here's the link:

Just though I'd see what everybody does when finishing on their Jnats. Obviously they have widely different properties & we all come off different stones 1st, so let's share what they are.
