There is some credence to smash finger. In USMC marksmanship training I was taught to bite my trigger finger's nail hard to prevent jerking. By doing so I could not jerk the trigger if I tried. If it hurts you are applying to much pressure to fast. Har!!

I am very heavy handed needless to say. I trashed a few razors in a couple passes in the beginning. Har! In learning to strop I had to bite nails to get a feel for the light touch.

Learning to hone should be comical. I can picture cartoon looking red bulbous pulsating digits.

A new meaning to different strokes for different folks.
