Craving Knowledge
As I am new to straights, shaving and honing. I would like to here from people that use a Thuri. I picked one up not knowing what it was. Cost all of $15 from an antique store. I sent it to @gssixgun and he confirmed it to be a Thuri.
Anyhow I have only finished a few edges on it so far. But i must say I really like the silky feel off of it. I use the same progression on my blades. Naniwa SS 1,3,8&12K. For finishing I have the following options. 1 micron Lapping film, CrOx, IronOxide, both of these are on leather mounted on a flat piece of Aluminum. I also have a Translucent Arkansas.
The first couple I finished on the Thuri I raised a slurry first. Then slowly diluted. My last blade, my DD I went straight to water. Keeping it wet and clean. The blade hazed the first few laps. Then after 50 laps, nice and shiny.
Anyhow, how about some pointers for us.
Thanks
Tom
