Definition of "Rock 'n Roll" (Elvis?)
Let's see if I understand what you are saying: On the upward stroke, I would rock-down with contact on the heel and somewhere in the center of the blade(push slightly down on the scales). Then on the downstroke, I would rock-up (lifting the scale slightly), thus insuring contact with the toe and somewhere in the middle of the blade?
All the while doing these strokes with the heel leading?

3 inch hone and X pattern
I'm really new to all this, but have bought myself the 3 inch Norton 4k/8k in order to avoid having to master the X pattern, as I figured that it wouldn't be necessary on this wider hone.
Is that right? Can I just go up and down the hone keeping my razor in the middle?
My SRP razor from Classic Shaving was fabulously honed by Lynn initially, but I think it now needs another go. What's the betting I manage to undo all his hard work?!
I'm planning to use a 3/3 1/3 1/5 pyramid, stop and check. Does that sound good?
Thanks
Nick
