So I am the recipient of a new copy of Lynn's DVD, and after watching the thing straight through (pun! ha!) I have a question on hone technique.

It seems to me that with a honing motion like so:

---------------------
| B
| L
| A ---> B
| D----> L
| E----> A
---------D----------
-------> E

(the artwork above attempts to illustrate a hone with a blade moving at a diagonal.)

The toe of the blade gets a lot more "hone exposure," if you will, than the heel, since at the end of a motion 30-50% of the heel end of the blade is hanging off the stone. Does this not lead to and eventually tapered razor with uneven hone wear?

If so, how does one compensate for that? If not, why not?
