Holy mother of the natural state...
If you burnish that surface with the pink translucent from earlier I bet the next razor you hone would develop supernatural edge qualities

Glad it worked out. ark after coti has given me some nice smooth shaves too.Tried my 6x2 Arkansas from dans ? I used soapy water I did 200 light strokes . Great feed back .
Just two days ago I shaved with the razor dilucot method revisor razor shaved very nice I did feel against the grain was good but could of done with a bit more cutting power as much as I love the coticule edge against the grain under my chin I tend to feel I could do with a tad more cutting power for my strong stubble.
So I took the same razor with 200 strokes on the Ultra fine black Arkansas .
For those of you that said there is difference you was all spot on . The razor was still very smooth but there was a moth more cutting power and against the grain was just what I was looking for . Really impressed with the Arkansas super smooth and keener edge

Yes the comfort was there there is doubt about that I couldn’t fault the edge . I have good results with the welsh slate at the expense of not so comfy but the Arkansas edge I noticed a difference straight away across the grain was perfect and against the grain was great for my skin I have no irritation what so over . One of the reasons I barely shave against the grain under my chin that section is due to irritation in that area . I have sensitive skin and hard beard.
Even 20 k suehiro edge can irritation in that section but the ark edge was nice the revisor is a vintage full hollow and it really is s good razor honed up brill but can Produce a top sharper edge but of the ark it’s the best it’s been . I have read post where some guys get harsh edges with black Arkansas and there to sharp that put me of buying one . I glad I brought one I can see me using it . I mainly brought it for my Mastro Livi razors as I was told by his staff he uses one after the coticule.
Here’s one that has a pretty high cool factor. Someone shaped it on 5 sides with a hammer and then made a box for it. It weighs just over 5 pounds View attachment 986970View attachment 986971
This one came from eBay. I think the size and shape scared everyone off because I got it for pretty cheap. I’d love to know how old it is.Where on earth do you keep finding these?? If these are on eBay I need to up my eBay ninja skills big time.

Yes, for about 15 minutes then it would die. What are you using? SIC is your friend.Ugh. It’s been maybe 2-3 hours of lapping the bottom of my convex ark. Would a diamond plate make it go faster?
