Or that you do not apply more pressure in the beginning of the honing process than in the final polishing stages on each razor?

    Wow, if I tried not to vary the pressure I would probably spend hours and who knows if I'd be able to hone a razor at all. But of course, I don't have your experience

    That's exactly what I mean. I use the same pressure throughout the process when I hone. Always have. Of course I may not have the experience alot of you guys do and probably haven't honed as many of these as Josh Earl, so I'll certainly bow to your expertise. What ever works for you guys.

    but to do it correctly you do need considerable pressure when you hone.[/quote]

    As I said, I will bow to your expertise. I hope to get there some day. I have not needed any extra pressure with these.

    This is an old thread but I was digging the archives because I got a Tosuke to hone and just saw this - thanks for the laugh, Lynn

    I must say I plan to start with less pressure myself because it's a first for me and I'd rather spend more time and be safe than sorry. But I'll still use even lighter pressure to finish on the 40K
