Thanks, Tico.
Ethan, haha, only a few hours? I visited some sharpening and stone sites, and discussions. It can get a bit crazy.

If you have a few hours to spare, you might consider hopping over to one or two of the more popular straight razor forums and read through their discussions on whether or not one should slurry the fine finishing stone when honing.

It’s the pins vs. tails of straight razor shaving.

But there is also a lot of knowledge in those forums, so you might find something helpful for this discussion!

These are questions that have occurred to me, too. I’m looking forward to reading about the solution you’ve come up with.

But I agree that most of it’s advantage come from the feel and the stone (or slurry trapped against the stone) does more of the cutting.
