Revisor 5/8" and Naka 2

Since I had such great success with the original protocol and the original Nakayama Honyama stone I had to see if I could reproduce it with my second Nakayama stone, bought because I love the first one so much, I wanted a back up. last effort sucked but I think I know where I went wrong.

I am really liking this one stone from start to finish idea; figuring out how to 'figure it out"

Nakayama Honyama 2 Revisor 5/8 ( new)
dull blade

heavy slurry with Soft Uchi
3 laps on VERY SLOW circles( get a really nice, sandy, smooth grit feeling from this stone)
shaves arm hair no problem :))

Hard uchi slurry ( really take my time to build up some, it's slow)
30 push strokes in sets of 5
sharp ! arm hairs above skin

Karasu slurry ( so light)
15 x strokes diluting one finger ever 5 X strokes
wash stone
15 push strokes on water

feels and sounds sharp on leg and arm hair

30 laps linen
40 laps leather

One blade tomorrow. we'll see. I do love my Revisors,time to play with the good blades.:))


SHAVE REPORT
PERFECT!ONE STONE HONE.PRETTY CLOSE TO A ONE PASS EFFORT. SHAVED EFFORTLESSLY AND EASILY.ALMOST SILENT, WHICH TELLS ME A GREAT DEAL. SHARP AND SMOOTH IS THE GOAL.


NEXT UP : SAME PROGRESSION ON THE OOZUKU WITH ANOTHER REVISOR AND THEN ONTO THE COTICULES AND FIGURING THE ONE STONE HONE WITH THOSE STONES.
