Finishing With A Barber Hone
I remember reading about how to do this in an instruction pasted to the inside lid of a barber hone box and it's the method I use for them. You can see how the blade kind of sweeps forward throughout the stroke so that the rolling motion keeps a relatively uniform angle on the smiling blade. The evidence is in the lather trail left behind. I see my technique can still use a little improvement.

I remember my grandfather using that method. I don't remember how many laps he used but it wasn't very many...and because that was the only stone he had this was followed by a LOT of stropping.

Hey! I can't believe I hadn't seen this video until just now
I've been honing a couple of blades lately that won't lay flat from toe to heel on the hone and have adopted a similar stroke on the hone. I try to keep the razor's edge parallel with the side of the hone though so that the spine wears all the way to the point near the shank above the heel.
Thanks for posting the video, now I just need to get audio
