Last night I took sometime to my self before the holiday madness and touched up my straights. I've been using Alex's system of honing and it seems to put a little extra buttery touch on my edges. Happy Holidays Gents

Yes I prefer the bigger blades. Honing an Alex Jacques razor... Part I - YouTube
Rolling X can be a very effective way of honing or refreshing, but normally is not needed when a razor will lay flat on a stone. When they don't, it is a good alternative.
Have fun.
Yes very true. Most of my razors have a smile to em so that rolling X does seem to work great. One thing I did notice that I haven't really seen is doing 5 to 10 strokes on one side of the razor than flipping it over to the other side and doing the same, following up with your traditional back and fourth laps.Quote:
