Thread: 3/8 h/g vs 8/8 h/ground blade

i thank you everyone who respond to this thread and thought will better i post the reason why i post this question.
Recently i had 6 razors to hone. No one was at home and i decide to head hone them up and get job done.
5 of the them were 4 7/8,1 is 8/8 and last one 3 /8.
i checked the blades and start to work.
1 st i did finish 8/8 h/g(in my mind i thought this is the hardest one) lets make this one first.
Next i honed 4 7/8 blades .
Total time i spend almost 1.45 minutes.
Wasn't bad at all. i was taking my time and enjoyed honing.
Now i said ok i am done and will come back to this 3/8 later .
then i decide oh NOOOOOO very small blade hollow ground will take me less then 15 minutes let me finish and i wont get dirty later.
I start to hone this little 3/8 hollow ground blade.
everything was fine. i set bevel 1k shapton then i moved my natural stones.Blade was almost shave ready condition on japanese stones and i decide my last touch for finishing the edge.
To use lovely light green Escher.
stone is ok size 7 by 1 1/8 .
i start make my strokes after 5 stroke OPPS I HIT THE EDGE STRAIGHT TO THE STONE ???
himmmmmmm.
i thought what was that?
Ok i said lets go back to 1k and start all over ACCIDENTS Happens.
Now i didn't change anything from my previous honing routine.
SET bevel and move on until Escher.
ok same Routine start to make my last finishing strokes . i do take every pressure out in my last strokes.
All off a sudden i hit the edge straight to the stone again ?
What happen ? what is wrong with me? when i flip the blade i flip the blade more then i should and make strokes edge touching the stone?
Now this made me Mad.
i am getting crazy now.
i stood up walk around then i thought something wrong with my hands.
May be i am getting old and my hands are shaking???
went front of the mirror and checked out my hands ? they seems to ok.
No shaking .
Ok what it is then ?
i am still Mad at myself. Open another Thiers blade just to look at it . Used so much force cracked the handle?
Ok what is wrong with me?
Now i am out of my mind?
(i used to smoke. in similar situations i would pick up cig and smoke and calm myself down)
I don't smoke anymore.
i sit down and try to calm myself ?
In my mind i am getting just crazy?
questions i have to ask myself?
This is someone else blade with this speed i will have nothing left from this blade?
Next why i am doing exact same mistakes twice in a Row?
Then seems like someone told me Listen to Sham?
this made me think?
Go head turn on the computer and check your own honing and see what you will see.
i did.
i watched the video and i mention couple times

IN LAST STAGE OF HONING TAKE YOUR TIME , DON'T HURRY UP. IF YOU MAKE MISTAKE YOU SHOULD GO BACK ALL WAY TO 1K.

I knew this but i was overconfident Person. i was thinking i have done this so many times . will do it again.
After video i did calm down more. took Blade to 1k and start to hone.
i finished the edge an Escher test the blade .
Smile come to my face.
was happy at the end.
Now i think if you do hone small size blades and don't think it is easier then rest . they are all challenging. Take your time and get job done.
i spend more time to finish 3/8 blade then i honed 5 more larger heavy blades.
Lesson Learned.
hope this will help some of you.
