Surprisingly, I had to lap my ultra fine that I had ordered. It wasn’t flat at all even though they advertise them as lapped and tested. It didn’t look like anyone ever tested it either. Thankfully mine does a fine job just without slurry doing the running water. I like to use a dish soap water mix after that gets more out of the stone after it had started sticking under water.
Yeah, I had to lap mine as well. Glad it worked out for you. I wasn't doing much for my edge so I gave up after a bit.
@@TimShaves I set my stones that give me issues aside for when I’ve been honing longer just to see if it was me as a novice learning or just a bad stone. So far, I’ve been struggling with learning Coti stones.
Glad to see the honing progress, Tim! I'm catching up on vids and have a long way to go but I'll get there! Hey would you say with honing and learning to use different pressure while honing has reflected in your ability better adjust pressure when shaving? I'm thinking of diving into the honing game, not only for straights, but the wife has some knifes she wants sharpened. I'm trying to convince myself that honing will also help improve my technique. 😆 Great vid and have an amazing day! 👊😁
Thanks! Hope you're doing well in Japan. No pressure to watch everything haha. I think honing and shaving is pretty different. I'm not sure if one bleeds into another.
Knife honing is also different than straight honing. I've tried couple times and got decent results. A good way to convince your wife haha. I used my Shapton 1k for a kitchen knife and that worked well.
The only ILR I've been able to try use didn't provide what I needed for my edge, regardless of what I did (water, slurry, combo of both, using JNat tomo nagura, etc.) I possibly just had a bad stone.
Ah I see. So far, I've had some success using water and better with soap + water. It seems like a slow stone and refines the edge slightly.
