Finally applied the .1 to the convex leather. Funny how trying to apply and use these makes me feel like a newbie.
I let the paste dry and then stropped the concave edge. The edge off it was pretty nice.
So i need to use these pastes more or less for every shave?
Hehe, it's okay. I was stubborn about it for the longest time. Felt like using the balsa was akin to using a cheat code. Still do. I love my escher edges but if I feel like I'm having trouble with a pass I'll have a method edge ready to switch hit.
You can touch up on the .1 u each shave, but if you had all 3 going then depending on how the edge feels after 5 or so shaves you could take it back through all 3 rather than touching up on a finisher hone. It depends. Some guys treat the .1 u like stropping.
Did you take a gander to see if it definitely made contact along the entirety of the blades edge?
