I think I'm starting to get this honing thing down but I'm still just not passing the hht on some razors. I'm trying to keep the strokes on the hone and pressure on the hone to a minimum but it I'm just not passing this hanging hair test with some.

I'm doing the norton pyramid, followed by the coticule, and I've got a pasted strop with .5 and .25 pastes. Do I want the razor to pass the hht before I move from the norton to the coticule?
