Thread: Question about Over-Honing

I think its too hard to push the razor like that smoothly. I've always prefered a pulling motion.

But, we are always open to anything, anyone wants to try, as long as we don't have to watch.

Maybe I was not clear in what I meant. I did not mean pushing the blade through like on a honing stone. I meant dragging the blade like in a stropping stropping, but instead of the x-stroke going from the heal to the toe it would be the opposite.

I think I understood you. I'll let others chime in. If you feel comfortable with it go ahead though. The way I think of stropping from tip to heel involves pushing it in a sideways motion away from the body. But it is so very hard to picture some of this stuff from text.
