I've been away for awhile but used to visit the yahoo site often. Can't remember reading about honing jigs. It seems to me to optimise the levelness(sp) of the razor through the stroke, and the heel to toe side-to-side motion shown in some of the videos, that it would be beneficial to use a jig. Something that hold the blade level throughout, while graduating the heel to toe motion. Anyone ever heard of anything like that?. I personally don't hone yet, but from the diagrams and videos the levelness throughout would be one of my initial challenges. I've always been the nervous energy guy bobbing his knee up and down, and don't have the steady surgeon hands of some, but would really like to learn to hone. Something like a jig might help.
