Shaptons , shazaam,,[emoji184][emoji184][emoji184][emoji184]
Did not need to hone but could not resist trying, learning
Would I screw up my TI razor , I figured if I did could send it out for a professional
Oh well here goes as I want to learn to be able to hone correctly myself
Ok , first I killed the edge, by gently slicing blade until no longer cutting
First use shapton glass 2000
Went slow ensuring whole blade on stone, after 10 minutes I check edge visually, seems toe area not same as other parts, did not cut tomatoe good
Started to get worried, what have I done[emoji23]
Lapped 2 k stone, did not think needed lap as was brand new, after lapping went back to 2 k, whole new ballgame, another 4-6 minutes and shazaam, sharp uniform patterns across edge and dye to swart on stone , new stone was cutting and I had a good edge after 2k,, success
Then up next 6khr,, wow totally new experience
Lapped 6k , and used slurry from stone and wow
Felt and looked like I was on a extremely hard shobu mizu Jnat, keep reminding myself not a Jnat but a 6k shapton ( what is this madness),the 6k looks like my same color feel and slurry that my shobu mizu produces including swarth
Ok after 6 k, I used some extremely rare lapping film
0.3, micron, few strokes across palm of my hand and shazaam
No other stopping
Shave was marvelous and sharpest shave to date while extremely smoother
Wow what a shave and I created my own edge after I killed the factory edge ( success)
I learned a lot, but succeeded in not ruining my razor and obtained a excellent edge
I feel the 6k hr is a syntectic shubu mizu asagi stone
Cheers
