Hello Again,

I tried the magic marker approach on a 1000 grit norton stone and noticed that the entire edge was being covered when I applied some pressure with my thumbs in the center of the blade on the pull stroke. And the same thing when I applied pressure to the ends on the push stroke ( I hold the razor with the handle in my right hand). My question to you is. Is this a good method to use or will I damage the blade? The coverage on both side looks good with the light reflecting evenly all the way accross the edge ( minus a milimeter from the shoulder which I cant seem to get). Please let me know what you think. I tried the rolling x stroke but didn't have as good of a result.
