Hey guys,
I've been noticing when I'm practicing my half strokes, either the top or bottom (depending on the direction of the half stroke) is nice and wet with the right consistency of slurry but the center of the coticule is almost dry. Am I using too much pressure on the razor and squeegie-ing all the water and slurry off the center?
In Bart's dilucot or unicot videos, the center still seems fairly wet. I've tried adding drops of water but that seems to be diluting the slurry too quickly.
On the other hand, when doing full X-strokes, I get the exact opposite result. The top and bottom is bone dry with dry slurry and the center is wet, though the beads of slurry does slowly diminish with each stroke. I'm also in California so the dryness is not helping.
