Becker edges (and how you care for them)

91bravo, Thanks. I may have edited after you replied.
I assume the polka dot "stones" wear to a finer grit as well?
 
Pressure like you're shaving is a pretty good description for the pressure to use imho. Same with the stropping afterward.

On natuaral stones I tend to press a little bit harder.... but that's probably not needed too.

Btw I have no issues with the completely covered diamond stones clogging up, but I use a little water and a drop of dishwashingnsoap on them when sharpening.
 
Thanks so much for the reply knoefz. Still would like to hear from some others.

I have long had an idea for a system based on my 8 x 3 x 3/8 "stones." I have four in various grits. It is a stupid simple idea if it works. I guess I need to get it made, post it up, and see what y'all think of it.
 
Fresh off the black-compounded strop...this one is making hairs POP off my arms!
