I am also trying to get into the habit of jointing and then resetting before finishing up on each stone as Marty has always advocated.
As for the minimalist honing approach, I may have to restrain myself and give that a go on a couple of razors. I am one of the ones often talking about "maxing out" on any given hone, and if anything, I have probably done too many strokes at times trying to tweak that last little bit out of a stone with a couple of final feather-light sets.
By the way, what happened to those massive black and trans Arkansas stones you lapped and prepped some time back? They were some of the biggest, prettiest arks I have ever seen-now that would be a cool video!
