I do same, good practice, I also soak mine. It really helps to soften the blow, above those aggravating scratches. I don’t soak long, maybe 5 min. It’s never done me wrong. Great content.
No I agree it's a consistently decent way of going about it. This new Koma wants to really suck u the water, seems a bit softer than the Mejiro I'm used to, all part of the fun. Have a good day fella..
Another great video James thank you, It will be a while before I get in to natural stones, just perfecting the art on synthetics. Your Jnat sounds really hard.
Cheers Bud, I was on synthetics for nearly 10 years. I've got another Thuri to test if you fancy entering on the small side they are normally great little stones, I'll do a honing video on that one as I've been meaning to anyway. It doubles up as good V laps practice tool as well. My first Jnat was rated by the chap I brought both off as Lv 4.5, nice smooth creamy stone, this stone is much harder. I did a side by side video last year now & it took a lot longer to raise slurry from a slurry stone & the fine small dia plate. I'm a dude that's got a brain that enjoys finding consistency, less labour & longevity and with me hard (good stone) means less risk raising inclusions due to less flattening which lasts longer.. If I was made of money I would have kept a good few more stones, lol..
Those stones look great James :D Tons of information as per usual :D Looking forward to practicing with Thuringian, Mejiro and razors you sent me XP Cheers
In the post today fella, I hope they find you in good time.. I put the Sprock razor in with it, seems the best on the hones, no chips or frowns on it..
What do you use your Coticule slurry stones on chap? I've got one but it's kinda redundant now I've got this set, I found mine quite liked the Jnat I had before.
@ I use the coticule slurry stone on a bigger coticule but I’ve also used coticule slurry on surgical black Arkansas and slated in order to go from bevel set to finish.

Very nice and informative. Thank you for sharing
Cheers Bud, something simple but I've been asked what I do so I thought I'd post it up seeing as I was having to do it..

@Sustainashave great to hear, mate 😎 looking forward to learning experience 😊
I do this exactly the same way with my coticule slurry stones

I was thinking of selling it but I'll keep it and explore a bit further with it, cheers Bud..
