This is making me want to make up my own stroke. I've got a name, I just need to work out the stroke: The Humpty Hump
Well, I'm trying to coin a new honing phrase at the moment but it's not related to a stroke type.
You know when new people start out, how some of them are really good honers in their forum posts but in reality aren't that great at honing?
I'm calling that the Volkswagen. As in, "Jimbo just did a Volkwagen in the hone of the day thread".
James.
Oh it is nothing new hehehe
It has had many names over the years but the same old stroke, just gets a new name each time somebody new discovers it and has never looked here
Been sitting there for 6 plus years and long before that when I described it on the forum..
Swooping X stroke or what ever you want to call it is quite useful on many razors :) especially if they have "Issues"
Or the Sheffield's that have so many bevels they litterally go Bumbity Bump down the hone when you try a Rolling-X hehehehe
They call me Humpty, I go bumbity bump bumpty
Hooking the swish
I don't have to jumpty...
Doing the humpty ,hump
aka Flava Flav.
Like you all trying to refine the toe and make a smile.
Nike swoosh is the best a rookie can describe what I am doing.
Thanks to Glenn and the other honers who described it for years:beer1:
