This May Be Sacrilege

I have discussed that part with David also, I do believe he said its fine to do it that way. I too was concerned about the heel spending all of a split second on the hone whilst the rest doesn't. However I still am working an the X pattern since it seems to be traditional.

Thanks guys although these are not the responses I expected. I braced for you honmeisters to slap me down. Hmmm, I am happy I haven't stumbled on some technique that would be possibly damaging to my razors. I do however have a large black arrow inked across my Shapton 16k:D

You could have used paintshop :)

Along with the arrow for your continued success, you will need to be sure and hold your mouth just right or you WILL screw up your best razor.:w
