    I know the feeling!

    Is it over there or over yonder?

    I don't keep track of the stone's direction, but do try to balance how much time I spend working over each area of the hone during bevel-setting (aka "sharpening") so as to even out the wear. During the actual long honing strokes during finishing, I feel the amount of wear is trivial so don't pay it any mind.

    A little off topic! I got a bunch of 3/8" X 4" Balsa wood & some hard felt Thinking about making a paddle strop with handles at both ends. What U think??? Is it worth it?

    When honing a batch of razors I will do the same. It does help to get to fresh cutting material.
