Thanked: 37I am a little confused. I just want to know if I got this right.
Hone the wedge side down using moderate pressure 5mm up from the edge. 7 laps
Hone the hollow side down with light pressure on the edge. 5 laps
Do I have this right?

You know, I myself am not exactly sure, but I think you've got the ratios backward. Concave side down 7, flat/wedge 3...
As I said in another thread, I was recently told by a barber not to hone the ura (wedge/flat side) at all....so I don't think it's all that set in stone in Japan, either.

I have the original video, saved from a website (probably the same that thebigspendur mentiones)... I've uploaded it to the help files, named "Japanese razor sharpening"
since it is a .wmv and the gallery don't accept this type of file, I have renamed it to .pdf. So, download, rename to .wmv, and play...

edit: hmm, I thought I uploaded the file, but no go. A moderator better send me a PM with his e-mail, so I can send the file for uploading...Last edited by superfly; 02-09-2009 at 05:20 PM.

I crunch my ego on purpose. If I mixed up the ura and omote let's get that corrected,
this wedge and hollow description has never worked for me.
Jim; I think you did a way better job than the friend of my friend.
if the stamp is up it is 7(x) when the stamp is on the hone 3(x).
One sided could work if one were at the extreme finality of maintenance. As a barber uses a barber hone for touch up between shaves.
What's your barber say about stropping?
