Interesting - mine really doesn't want to release slurry at all.

This morning, I tried sets of 30 down-and-back strokes with my finger on the blade and literally as much pressure as I'd ever put...

Don't know if mine is vintage, but it's super pink.

I tried this using a blade that shaved arm hair with just a little pulling. Not sure if that's considered as having the bevel completely set, but it was a lot more set than it would be after...

I also thought you meant starting with bevel-setting. I'd like to try this, but I don't understand yet.
If you don't mind, would you please say it again real plainly for us slow folks? :)
