HAR!
Why I never got into too many honing discussions.
As long as someone can shave proficiently and study a good shaver, it should be apparent what the end result should be.

How to get there is the deal. Every time a question is raised, everyone will have a different answer.
Next thing, bullshit gets called.

Then, every razor is different in some way.

Being a fly on the wall and deciding what to try will lead you to finding your own path and when to deviate for any corrections.
When it all comes together successfully in the end, you will have taught yourself anyway!

JMHO
