My breadknifing happened while making a stroke on a stone and halfway through I basically made a divot with the edge which in turn brought the spine up to a 90 degree angle.. Not sure if doing this is called breadknifing? But it sure f#@ked my edge up! :)..
The shave test is the only for sure test, Steve. If it works for you, I'd all that matters. Unless your reaching for something better. When I started shaving n honing, all I had was one stone, fine enough for straights. But not fine enough, its only around 1 or 2000 grt., , but that's what I shaved off of for many years, till I learned about other hones specifically for straights.
You mean it's not this?

To Whom It May Concern,
Steve just did the pyramid on his practice smiler.
Every stroke was a swoop and the razor can pop his arm hair and cut into a tomato with just the weight of the razor.
He is just about to have a shower and a shave with the aforementioned smiler.
I am very proud of him and although most of you could do better, I think he should be pleased with himself.
:rofl2::bow:roflmao:y

PS. if he wants a bread knife he can get one from the kitchen.
O-M-G I just shaved with my practice smiler.
I had a fantastic smooth shave, razor was sharp as - well sharp :D
I had my first real bbs shave today.
I wish I could say it was my blade but I know it's my technique that's improving.
I have even figured out how to do my neck smooth.
I can feel a new Youtube video coming on, I hope I'll impress but I am always grateful for advice.
Can't type any more because I need both hands to feel my face.

We call that faceturbating, Steve. So now you know why the dog licks himself. Feels good eh.! :tu
