Hi all
Any tips for a smoother edge from nanawa 12SS?
So far it seems that to get keen enough if the wants to shave arm hair at 4 k or start to tree top.
I've been lighly stroping on clean leather between stones. The stones used are shapton pro 2K, sg 4k, 8kss,12kss.
I lap with atoma 400 before each stone.
I also am wondering how best to use the naniwa 12 laping stone.
Off the 12, I do 40 on linen and the same on leather. The first shave feels a bit aggressive, after that it gets smoother.
I wonder what the next step is for me? Id like to get through the stones faster and have a skin smarter edge.
I've experimented with the method balsa /diamond progression as well as the green veritas aluminum oxide compound so far.
Thanks.
Matt
