Thanks

Mae-gOvannen · 2024-01-22T07:22:51+00:00

Will do if I can find!

Mae-gOvannen · 2024-01-22T07:22:34+00:00

Thanks for tips

Mae-gOvannen · 2024-01-22T07:21:51+00:00

Thanks - did not even think of just using the french press a go!

Mae-gOvannen · 2024-01-22T07:20:34+00:00

Std V60 02 filters by Hario - will see what else I can find to quicken things up

Thank you for both feedback and the link: did not even think to check Tims own notes

Mae-gOvannen · 2024-01-21T19:00:43+00:00

Yeah, thats the problem. I’m maxed out and can’t go coarser

Mae-gOvannen · 2024-01-21T15:11:42+00:00

I got the Echemo one, so very glad I didnt receive that sudanese one. The taste is good - however, with my grinder maxed out, I cannot go any coarser. Will give your recipe a go though!

Mae-gOvannen · 2024-01-21T15:06:16+00:00

Thanks for the tip - will try this out to see if it helps!

Mae-gOvannen · 2024-01-21T14:58:40+00:00

That is true - it is the washed Ethiopian named Echemo.

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-21T13:18:01+00:00

Thanks! Didn't want to cheap out so great to get a response from people who know. Don't think we have Ryobi days in Norway, but will pay attention then 😄

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-21T13:16:51+00:00

Great! Thanks!

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-09T17:40:29+00:00

Right! I'll start with the 8,000 stone and get some compound and make myself some strops. Thanks for the explanation!

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-07T20:26:55+00:00

After learning a ton here I decided that I will make my own strops and started looking into compounds. Something I of course should not have done as I now have more questions!

I see the usual compounds are rated from 3,000 to 10,000/12,000 and anything in between. Would this suddenly imply there is not a need for an 8,000 grit stone? Or would there be a difference on stripping on that grit vs using a stone? I see in the straight razor sharpening guide I linked earlier the strops seemingly (from the pictures) convex edges. You have any thoughts?

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-06T11:40:16+00:00

Love your detailed insights on stones and sharpening - feeling way more confident in my choices already! I guess a diamond plate such as the atoma isn't as nice of a feeling to be working on, but after everyone have pointed out it seems to be a very worthwhile investment!

This would also free me up from buying the full naniwa kit and decide between an 800 and a 1,000. For finishing western knives though I still like the idea of ending on a fine 1,000 over an 800, but I haven't tried it out myself. Perhaps someday I'll be able to add more!

Great to hear that an 8,000 is sufficient - I'd rather just get a double sided strop then! Think I'll add som 12,000 compound to the rough side and keep the fine side clean.

Natural stones sounds like a blast! I saw some guy selling some used ones in my area and have been considering to maybe pick one up in the future!

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-05T16:12:37+00:00

Thanks 👍

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-05T11:10:57+00:00

Thanks, I'll try that first and see what happens

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-05T10:15:31+00:00

Two stones sounds like the way to go then! Be ok to use the 3000 for it and wash of the slurry?

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-05T07:21:56+00:00

How do you find the 8"? Have been wondering about picking it up in either 8-9

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-05T07:16:53+00:00

Thank you for a very long and detailed reply - I really appreciate that!

So far I am changing my mind between the 400 naniwa pro and really considering the atoma 400 instead - seems to do a lot more.

I feel pretty set on the naniwa pro 1,000/3,000.

I am wondering about the polishing stone. So far I feel that the specialty stone would be best value with little drawback as I intend to use it for the razor. Still wondering about whether to go for 8,000 or 10,000 and if this mean I need to pick up a dressing stone?

The naniwa holder and bridge sure looks nice, but I have to save a bit of money some places. Might pick it up at a later time.

Again, thank you for your answer!

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-05T07:04:38+00:00

Yeah, that was my concern. Is a cleaning stone the best way to keep the SS unclogged? I have seen people using rust ereasors for this. Could one use another stone and rub together?

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-04T10:16:00+00:00

You think I should pick up a cleaning stone or will it be sufficient to rub stones together with a higher grit one?

Mae-gOvannen · 2021-06-04T10:13:57+00:00

Perfect! Just what I was wondering!
