As Outback said, that heal needs work.
Charlie had a vid showing how to hone a smiling edge. Showed the rolling x to the extreme as the razor he was using was a big smiling razor. Maybe someone can find that as it might help you to understand the rolling x. I cant tell if your rolling on this vid. And doing circles you had better be rolling as you do the circles or your just making a frown.Last edited by Gasman; 07-19-2021 at 11:56 PM.

Yes. And you should see the water move from the heal to the toe staying in front of the blade.
I wont harp at you but... When i learned to flip the blade the RIGHT way was the day it all started to come together fir me. Just saying.It's just Sharpening, right?

Thanked: 48Nobody is born with the skills to hone a razor or to do many things. Humans fortunately are very good at adapting themselves and learning things. The more you practice good techniques as the example above, the easier this will all become. Progress however small at first is still progress. Soon it all comes together. At first you have to think thru each step. And eventually your muscle memory will take over. Some razors are a little more time consuming than others. I didn't say harder on purpose. Because everything is hard until you know how then it's easy. Keep plugging is all I will say. Keep asking questions. You will get out what you put in.

You can do it either way. But the best time to learn to do it correctly is to do it from the beginning. Now, im not bitchin at you. As Glen said, you can see him doing it the "other way" in his vids. I was just letting you know that when I learned to do it properly it helped me a lot. A lot of fine details just came together. I dont know if that will work for you the same but...
