I was having trouble with honing, it appeared that I would reach a certain level of sharpness then move to the next grit and I'd end up dulling the razor.
I'm pretty sure now that I was using too thick a slurry on the stones, I'm basing this on the fact that having moved from a thick slurry (double cream) on my coticule to a light (semi-skimmed milk) slurry I've started to get good edges quickly.
So, honers, whats your comments on slurry thickness with both naturals and synthetics.
P.s. PigCat not that kind of slurry
