    I must say Bjoernar's post echoes my experience:

    The above is a no-name barbers hone which surprisingly advocates rubbing the blade up and down on one side for a few strokes then flipping and repeating on the other side.

    The Raven, above, only took 5 to 7 laps.

    The Primo, above, says to use just "a few" strokes.

    With regard to excessive wer being caused by barbers hones, that is probably due to too many laps or over use of the coarse side of a combo hone:

    The CMon is shown coarse side up - the other side is brown and is the finisher.
