Thread: 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

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.
