@ good point. I think I’ve got a pretty good handle on getting a good edge that works for me but each blade is completely different from each other and sometimes it’s a 20min process and other times it’s hours to get the same edge, depending on the steel and condition of the blade. I guess each one has it’s own personality. Definitely seems to be a learning curve from one razor to the next.
@@RobertPascale "Definitely seems to be a learning curve from one razor to the next." Yes, every steel and even the same steel from different manufacturers needs to be threated a little differently. For some reason i find that the softer steel works much better with coticules then the harder steel. Really hard steel, like you get from TI seem to favor a JNAT type of edge. My Woolfblades razors seems to do much better with the Shapton glass stones then they do with the stones from Naniwa. You can't hone a Gold Dollar razor and expect to learn how to hone a Ti razor. As you say, they are all different.
@ I need to get a few Shapton glass stones and I have 1 Jnat Sean sent me but I need to look into them more and test out more Jnat edges! Thanks for all the tips! Your experience and advice is always very helpful! Thank you John!!
Hi. This is a 4/6k diamond plate. The other side is 1 micron. The grit jump to 10k is quite easy because the diamond plate is shaped convex. It's a French razor that doesn't like to be dragged through mud:) She likes the broke back treatment. I think it's a he that identifies as a she. She did not mind some Cajun soap during the shave, but that is as classy as you can get:)
Thanks for uploading this. I don't get the title though, maybe I'm slow on the uptake. Question, are you diluting the ONR before you put it on the stone or is it straight and diluting from water already on the stone?
@@michaelkuper8268 The ninja suit shave just mean that this type of edge is probably too sharp. You really need to be careful when you shave with these types of edges. It's fun from time to time. I also don't think this soft steel can hold it for long.
Great process, thanks for sharing ! and I'm calling shenanigans where's the ninja suit 😂
Thank you for sharing.
Man, you make short work of getting a great edge! Still a work in progress for me but I’m getting there!
Another great honing video John!
You need to figure out what works for you and your beard. I don't think this type of edge would last that long with your beard.

@@RobertPascale I pick up new stuff from others all the time. It's going to be interesting to see what you can do with these jnat's
That is one thing I love about broke back honing. The ability to make quick work. What is your convex Diamond plate, 8k?

The onr is diluted to 50% with water.
Hi JPO. Quick question. You only use a microscope at the very end? Thx, tomorrow is pre Friday.
@@borbelyhaz321 Yes, i usually just inspect under a scope at the end.
