how to tell with the 8k norton
how can I tell when I have properly honed on the 4k/ 8k. will the razor start to stick to the stone, or is there any other indicators. I cant get the hht to work, and I cant fell any kind of burr on the razor, but I dont want to keep going and ruin the edge. What do some of you guys look for when honing to let you know you are getting close, and do some of you not use the pyramid, as in going the old fashioned approach of working on one side until you feel its time to move to a finer grit.
