Thread: Just cant get razor sharp following Lynns video at all

I'm probably at close to 600 razors honed, like you said no definitive "ah hah" moment but there were tons of mini "ah hah" moments that all get stored for future reference. And I'm still learning. It's a never ending process, at about 50 full bevel sets I was pretty confident I could handle most edges

Well, videos can't show you everything. They cannot show you how much pressure is being applied, and they cannot show you how the razor honer is biasing the pressure heel to toe.

This is what you have to learn to hone straight razors well.
