First and foremost I am not trying to prove nor disprove anyone or any particular method of honing. I just want thorough explanations.

I think that as several have stated already the argument is swinging into that of semantics.

I have never and probably will never use magnification to inspect my edges. For all i know my bevels could be scrathed to heck and the edge could have more teeth then shark.

Here's what is important regardless of what explanation I provoked from Tim and others the proof is in the pictures.

I don't agree that this method doesn't create a microscopic secondary bevel which after stropping would be a microscopically convexed edge. Its just not possible for it not to be.

But it works on some razors and steels to smooth put a brittle edge.
