Hello all , hope everyone is doing well in these days. With all my free time to shave every day (Im in construction so not required) I've been experimenting and wanted to reach out to see if anyone experienced what I have.
I've been mixing stones with different razors and I think I have discovered that certain stones don't pair well with certain razors.
Here's my process:
I use shapton glass stones starting at 1000 and go up to 16000 and then finish on nano cloth with liquid; been very sucessful but recently switched out the final stone with a jnat and the results have been great on my filarmonica doble temple 14; simply the best shave I've ever had consistently.
after using the fili for a month, decided to switch to a revisor 6/8 that I consider to be my first real razor that ever worked well for me. The results were simply mediocre at best.
I decided to redo the Revisor today back to how I used to do it before the Jnat, staying on the shapton stones and then final stropping as normal. Ill probably shave tonight and post how the razor is.
anyone been down this path? certain stones just dont work well for certain razors?
Is this specific to Jnats?
One advantage with the Synthetics is the predictable scalability, but Im wondering if this is a common issue with Jnats?
