Thread: Experimenting with some jointing techniques

My ideas behind the Corner of the Stone -vs- a Flat surface like a glass or the top of the stone

So looking at some Barber hones and Stones you often find a corner slice or two on them
Doing way more restores than simply honing I embraced "killing the edge" long before it was called anything else
The corner stroke made the most sense to me as it seems that it kills the very fin and also helps to clean up the sides of the bevel at the same time..
It seems to make it easier to bring back the edge and leaves a smoother feel to the edge to me..

I doubt there is much difference between any of the techniques, I also like the TNT to gently kill an edge for non-restore honing

Try it all, and see what works for you, or none at all, for me it is all about what I see under Magnification after the first 1k set and decide from there what to do

Hone on
