Thread: All the fuss over honing thick grinds... Well let me say...

Hi Chris, glad you are having success with honing. Myself I don't apply enough pressure when honing to cause a blade, even a full hollow, to flex on the stone.

I pay very close attention to pressure and torque on all razors. And while I do push a bit more on some razors, this thing was not happy with anything but a finishing type stroke. I am glad that I didn't let myself give up and fully feel that after the number of laps I had to give this thing, I think the muscle memory is locked in.
