Thumb notch Revisor on Oozuko and Ebenholz C12k/escher

Decided to play around a bit today ( it is, after all EXPERIMENTS in honing) and put the Thumb Notch Revisor extra back on a Jnat
I dulled the blade on glass and then went to my Oozuku stone ( love this one!) with slurry from Morgans Nakayama slurry stone. Made a great slurry fast and cut fast as well. Started with push strokes for 40 reps then tested.
Excellent, sharp keen and smooth already. Nice.
Rinsed the blade and did 10 more laps then onto tomonagura slurry for another 20 X strokes, another blade rinse, then 10 more on very light slurry.
Then 20 strokes on the tomonagura stone on water
30 on linen
40 on buffalo
20 on palm

then I really got adventurous with the ebenholz
Chinese 12 k with Welsh thuringian slurry
push strokes for 40 reps tested
good.
dilute and again 20 reps on light slurry
20 X strokes on water.
test = good


onto WT with Escher slurry
circles until slurry thickens then rinse blade and repeat
test= good.
dilute again onto water then
20 X strokes on water
20 X strokes on escher slurry stone
30 linen
40 buffalo
20 palm


we'll see tomorrow


SHAVE REPORT
EBENHOLZ WAS PERFECT!!! CRAZY TOO, AS I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHICH STONES I USED TO HONE IT AND THOUGHT IT WAS ON A JNAT! SURPRISE SURPRISE IT WAS MY C12K, WELSH THURINGIAN AND ESCHER COMBO. 


BASICALLY A ONE PASS SHAVE! NO REPORT ON THE REVISOR BECAUSE I NEVER USED IT. I WAS ENJOYING THE PERFECT KEENNESS OF THE DOVO AND HOW SHARP AND SMOOTH IT WAS. DEFINITELY HAVE TO REMEMBER THIS COMBO
