Thread: Sharpening Wakamisori

For the following pictures I do not have the original link /source. I'd greatly appreciate anyone providing that. The text accompanying the original document was difficult to translate, so much that a friend turned to a friend more skilled in translating for assistance. I greatly appreciate their help.

However, the instructions are still not quite as clear as I had hoped.
This is what I have now, and thought it might be interesting to hear other's thoughts
I have also seen some rather gambled translations of instructions following Mizuochi Ryouichi's technique. It would be nice to get those clarified as well.

Then we could dissect and analyze, compare and contrast, obsess and tinker until we come up with a good system with the finer points clearly identified.

① Keep the Place 5mm of the back of the razor from the edge flatly on the water stone.
② angle of the razor with the water stone and hone it with all surfaces of the water stone.
③ Hone the razor with enough slurry of the water stone.
④ Hone the razor to fit the part of circles as shown in the picture with the water stone completely.
⑤ After honing the front face of the razor, place the razor to fit the back of the razor on the water stone completely and hone it lightly. The power of distribution is seven (for the front) to three (for the back).
⑥ Then, strop the razor on your palm or cloth, like jeans, etc., to wear out the burr.
