Can someone please tell me the proper way to hone a Japanese straight razor ? When I first started shaving with my Tosuke razor I was told to hone 3 strokes on the concave (stamped) side and 2 strokes on the other side . Now , judging from what I've been reading lately here on this forum , this may not be the correct way . Since I have only done minimal light touch up honing , I don't think I've ruined my razor , yet . So , what's the proper way to hone it ?
