So i just picked up a DGLP and 1k Shapton stone from Howard. In the purchase I decided to get his DVD on sharpening. I found it interesting in the way that Harrelson Stanley from Shapton honed the razors.
Instead of a 90 or 45 degree angle he holds the razor at about a 20 degree angle...where the blade is almost perpendicular to the stone. His honing technique was also interesting in something that Livi does as well. Instead of a traditional pass he does a back and forth motion (imagine coloring with a crayon back and forth)
Just wondering if anyone else had used this technique. I might give it a go on one of my junkers. Im really excited to have my DGLP. Scrubbing the swarf off with a nylon brush wasnt cutting it anymore.
