    Wow, Hope it works out for you-
    You have a lot more experience than I do on the hones but
    I had read one could put too much diamond on the felt. Read if done right one might see dust on the blade.
    I was real careful to only spray it lightly, dry and repeat twice-
    I had never heard or seen bubbles.
    Max I have used mine is 6 passes after maybe a week or so of shaving and rarely see any dust on the blade. Probably didn't need to use it as often as I did so I will slow down.
    I have a cheap blade I am going to get better at honing
    then take it to the diamond, then CrOx, then strop and see if
    I made any progress whatsoever-

    +1 for Oldfalguy's advice with the diamond spray. When spraying the felt, don't try to make it soaking wet, just slightly dampen it.

    Remember--a little diamond spray goes a long way.
