I have mentioned this before . I received a razor a new ti from raspurs. This was a return replacemant. the first shave waas sharp but by gum it was harsh. The razor actauly felt like it was clauking in to my skin. straight away i thought i will rehone this from scratch with dilucot. I emailed raspur and asked how he had finished the razor. he said 0.25 dp followed by ti rasoir on a paddle.Which surprised me as i have shaved of ti and never felt this harsh.
i put marker on the edge and did some light strokes on my la vainette. The marker was removed from the whole cutting edge. I new i was making full contact and there was no convexed edge. probably because he used paddle strop. the next shave after water on coticule was still harsh.i then tryed ti rasoir paste . Still harsh probably more so.I realy new the razor was sharp and did'nt feel the need to do a full rehone. So i tryed the misty slurry for 10 laps and diluted away the slurry and finished with 30 on water. I did'nt expect to much but i have tryed in the past and it does work.
the shave this morning was smooth as butter. No clauking in to my skin. I just carn't beleive the differance a tiny mist of slurry can do and just 10 to 20 laps and then the rest on water.
It still amazes me how somthing so simple can change things so much. the slurry must massage the edge or somthing ( light misty slurry) . You have to be care ful not to use to much slurry , I actauly think i could of shaved of misty slurry. So if your razor is a little harsh and water strokes are not smoothing things out ,give it try .
