Decided to try to use the Cretan as a base stone and use a jnat slurry stone progression.have no idea if the cretan is fine enough to finish the blade, even if on slurry but I'll find out. Dulled a 4/8 Clauberg and started with
soft uchi slurry circles 3 sets shaving arm hair effortlessly. a good start
Chu Nagura stone 30 reps of push strokes in sets of 5
Oozuku nagura ( hard to get slurry on this combo) 25 X strokes
very keen so far
40laps on leather and that's it.
also touch up on the
53 Russian: DMT slurry on Uchi for 40 x strokes and 50 laps on leather
5/8 Ivory Clauberg Chu nagura slurry for 20 X strokes
DMT Uchi slurry for 20 X strokes
50 laps on leather
we'll see tomorrow!
SHAVE REPORT:
FIRST OFF THE REVISOR WAS PERFECT AGAIN. I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT STROPPING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HONING FOR REALLY DEVELOPING THAT PERFECT EDGE.
THE CLAUBERG AND THE RUSSIAN WERE MUCH BETTER AFTER THE UCHI SLURRY. THE ONE STONE CRETAN HONE ON THE 4/8 WAS STILL ROUGH. SHAVEABLE BUT NOT COMFORTABLE. THE CRETAN IS A GREAT FIRST STONE BUT DEFINITELY NOT A FINISHER. DON'T HAVE TO EXPERIMENT WITH THAT ANYMORE,LOL
