hello,
I recently purchased a barbers hone lapped and ready to go. I have seen Glen's video, which makes it look so easy, but just wanted to see what the "Rookie errors" are that can occur on a barbers hone so I can try to avoid them!!

For instance, what would I have to do to wreck my blade/scratch it into oblivion. I have a cheap razor to practice strokes on, but would appreciate the heads up on things to avoid before trying it on one of my recently honed razors!

Many thanks.
Damian
