hey there,
I am in the procecss of honing my razor right now, and I am realizing what my problem is. When I push the razer at the end of each stroke when the blade is only half on the stone I am having trouble not tilting the blade up or down which is ruining my edge.
So, what I am wondering is, can I leave the blade on the stone the whole time and just have it tilted on the stone as i push it, so the handel leads slightly? I don't know if I am being very clear with my question. The blade would have the same diagonal serrations as it would if i were doing the x pattern, but i won't have the tiping trouble.
Hope you get what I'm saying.
thanks
Nick
