Funny thing I saw this thread. Just last night I used my 12K dry while refreshing a few edges. WOW!!!!!! what a difference that made. I have used the 12K wet during honing. But last night was a revelation for me. I had my buddy with me, also a straight shaver, and he could not believe how sharp they were. I did get it wet between blades to remove any deposits but then proceeded to dry it before I got started on the next blade. I am going to try to use it dry during a complete honing job when I get one but for now if I have to refresh an edge...dry stone it will be.
