Howdy all,
So I've been playing around with my lpb and have another one on the way. I'll only be using my one stone until I get it right so no worrying about that.
What I've been wondering tho is if anyone who is familiar with this layer has any tips. I know it's gonna take lots of Practice to get it right, but can't hurt to get some tips from other members.
So far I've been spending more time on the water to make sure the edge is there in case I didn't dilute the slurry properly. But how can I be sure what is the right time to dilute?
I usual start with a milky slurry and do about 15 x strokes and dilute down about 5-7 times until just plain water. Rinse stone and razor and then about 50x's Does this sound about right to everyone?
Looking forward to hearing any tips you all may have!
