Learning when to move to the next hone
I'm still learning to consistently get good edges and last night I found something that helped.
I shaved with a couple of my earlier razors last weekend and felt I could get a better edge (I've been comparing to boushie's edges). I grabbed the two, taped up, and started honing both. I've never worked on more than one at time. I decided to stay on the same stone with both razors until I was ready to move up. I'm sometimes not sure if I've gotten all the previous stones striations out and haven't got that fixed mental image of what 1k or 4k look like (especially when they're mixed together). It really helped having a reference right next to me. I'd look at the first razor I had on the 4K and then check the second that only had 1K striations. When I was working on the second I'd check the first. Same for the 8K. It really helped me identify if there were still remnants of the previous stone on the edge.
Full disclosure: I haven't finished with them yet, so I don't know if it will get me better edges, but I felt much more confident about going to the next stone.
I haven't seen this suggested and thought I'd throw it out there in case someone else could benefit. If this is something routinely posted, feel free to flog me for poor use of the advanced search. :D
