Circles ?

[Jnatcat]

Good Day Gents,

Now that I have your attention with the title I have a question, I have always honed useing circles as in I start off on each stone with two sets of circles and finish with X's and always end each session on that stone like it's the last one i will be using, another words I treat it like it's my final finisher.

My progression is 4K, 8K, 12K and JNAT and if the edge is good and has a good bevel I normally can get done in about 15 mins but today as I was reading thru some info I see where some do circles a certain way as in with the edge going away from you on the hone they go CW and edge coming towards you it's CCW and that got me thinking does it really matter as I have never really givin it much thought but today tried it and it seemed kinda different as I honestly had not paid much attention to circle direction so now the question is does it matter, after my session today I did my usual HHT and it seemed to be the same in the 3+/4 but we all know the shave is what matters.
