I have usually used it dry and gotten great results as well. That and those pics on Zowada's site of the dry 12k honing scratches on the bevel made me think that dry might be better, but I wanted other opinions here.

Oh yeah, they shave great when using wet or dry. As I just said I usually use them dry and get awesome edges that last. Off the top of my head I can't remember liking the wet edges better, but I don't think I've ever really done a side by side comparison.

Sorry, I'm not taking on any more "projects". That means no scales, restoration, honing, you name it. Look for my custom razors in the future though!
