After finished and ready to move up to the next stone, if I'll wipe it down and leave it only moist but mostly wiped dry, the stone will impart some fantastic polishing to the bevel edge. Now, I don't do microscopes and photos; but it was much sharper than normal. I just didn't know what it meant.
Thanks for taking one for the team, David; paying for weddings has depleted my funds for a while. To further compound my woes, my baby gets her drivers license next month :( and not to fear--the roads are safe. It's just the parking lots that are serious risk :)
