Thread: Advise please

I like to take a sharpie, magic marker, whatever, and run a line of color on the bevel. Then see if I'm making contact from heel to point. If not I adjust my stroke. Might be a rolling stroke, might be a variation on the theme. If you do that wipe the marker off as soon as you figure it out. It is a hassle to do if you wait until the blade is shave ready.

Also, weight of the blade is what I do in finishing and touch ups. A little pressure is not a bad thing in the earlier stages. Don't ask my how much, it is sort of intuitive.
