Hi.
I read all articles in Coticule Sharpening Academy and all topics in Coticule Tavern so i think i'm well prepared.
The problem is that I can't get good results when i trying to perform dilucot. My unicot is pretty straight forward and i'm getting HHT-2 somtimes 3. Shaves are very smooth. I sticked to one stone and i'm trying to know that stone as far as i can.The stone is the one from that thread. I'm using yellow-greenish side.
I'm starting with milky slurry and i'm doing 30 half strokes per side. I'm trying to not allow slurry to become to dry (drop of water every two -three series of strokes). I'm using minimal pressure applied by finger. At the end HHT is 0.
I was trying to do 50 even 100 more strokes on clear water but have no luck.
I've noticed that x-strokes works better for me than half strokes. When i'm setting a bevel i'm doing two or three series of 30 half strokes and razor is not shaving arm hair but when i do 20 x-strokes without pressure it does.
Maybe i should do about 20 x-strokes every 2 or 3 series of half strokes ?
I'd be very grateful for any advice.
Regards.
Maciek.
