I have recently started finishing my razors on one of Dan's Black Arkansas stones and have really been enjoying the edges. I finish on the ark under running water and when the the razor start sticking I call it done. I have also tried with a drop of dawn and also with Williams but both gave me no feedback was like running the razor on glass they did still produce a nice edge but I like having the feedback and feel when I sharpen. My question is I was thinking I could try Ballistol and water mix but if I try this will I ever be able to go back to just plain water? or will this force me to use oil from then on? My thinking is I should be fine but I would hate to "ruin" my stone well at least limit my options. Any pointers would be appreciated.
