I have heard many get good results under running water, but it never works well for me. Mainly 2 issues I run into, maybe someone can educate me on what I do wrong.
1) The ergonomics stinks, I'm leaning over the sink with my arms extended further than normal. Typically, I hold the stone about shoulder height and pretty close, like a T-Rex honing.
2) And this is the toughest, I get crazy sticktion/suctioning of the blade on the hone. Dr. Matt claims this is when it is done, but that is far from true in my case as it occurs 10ish laps in. Once it gets bad enough, I go back to thorough rinses and my dinosaur position.
Albeit, this is generally with one specific coticule that I use the most with stone-in-hand honing
