That seem far less efficient than normal honing. Each stroke is tiny, and the guy can't go much faster than an experienced honer. I also don't see how you can correct for issues on a razor (smile, fix a frown, deal with a warp, etc).

I don't know what those things cost, but you need the machine thing plus two of each hone/strop (unless you want to switch one thing back and forth for each side).

I know it's not normal, but I hone several razors in one sitting, and putting them in and taking them out would be a serious PITA for me.

I just don't see that as being any easier, more efficient, or inexpensive than normal honing. And I don't see how it could possibly be nearly as enjoyable.

Lastly, why did he buy what appears to be a new Dovo BQ at a gun show? He said gun show and I assumed vintage. Or maybe it's not a new BQ. But come on, the guy says stropping takes a lot of skill? WHAT?
