Result was the most tree-toppingist blade I've ever honed.

If it works for you then your method is great! I actually just used a an x-course DMT this evening to level a spine on an eBay find and got some simlar wear on blade. For your next project, check for level and fix issues BEFORE you go to the trouble of polishing the blade! The sanding and polishing will even out the wear and make it less noticeable. I would post pictures of my latest project, but I forgot to take before pictures...

Is that a Naniwa Green Brick I see in picture #10?
J.A. Henckels are probably the best German made razor out there, at least it is of the blades I've tried. Got two nice ones and won't part with them.....great shavers!Fruiteater likes this."If You Knew Half of What I Forgot You Would Be An Idiot" - by DoughBoy68

It is indeed. My experience is that it takes me quite easily from below 1000 grit to the 3-4000 range, based on the feel/metal removal on the 5000 afterwards. Originally Posted by DoughBoy68

That is what I noticed too. I have found that I can use fewer hones by incorporating the Green Brick in the progression. I have had real good luck on some blades going from the Chosera 1K to the Green Brick then finish on the Coticule and maybe having to use the Chinese 12K on some blades.

Why not just use a rolling x stroke and hone around the spine "issue"?

Interesting thread. I have a couple of eBay razors that I haven't figured out out to hone because of spine issues.

Rolling X stroke could work, but usually people use it more so for razors with a pronounced smiling blade. Originally Posted by jfk742
