Hi all,

I'm starting the painful experience (for me) of learning to hone. I'm using a Norton 4/8 and find that the shoulder of my razor is hitting the edge of the hone when I do an x stroke. I especially feel it when the shoulder is off the hone and the x stroke brings it onto the hone. I feel the razor go up a little and can hear the bump.

The hone has been lapped, with the edges lapped slightly more to make sure they're lower. Happens on both sides, 4k and 8k. I have looked for an answer but nothing has solved it in an hour of reading! Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
