Thanked: 95The TNT might dull your edge if you are doing it at a later stage of your honing, be careful to when you use it. You seems to be on the right track, I would just try some more laps on with plain water, if you watch the water on your hone you'll see it's pushed away from the edge at first and as the razor gets sharper it'll start to flow over the blade instead of being pushed away. To me this is a reliable measure of when to go for a test shave, for this to work your hone has to be flat, and it might take some practice to get it right. An easier approach would be to just do 10-20 laps with water and then test shave, repaet until the shave doesn't improve anymore.
From what I've read about Lynn's honing I think he has a few more trick up his sleeve than just a coticule and not to forget his experience from the thousands of razors he has honed over the years.
