So far I've successfully honed four razors,one new and the rest vintage.First I start of with my norton 4000\8000 and try to set the bevil with the 4000,after that I use the pyramid sugested by Lynn in his video.When I'm able to cut hairs easy,I move to my chinese 12k.I do about 50 laps on the 12k.Then I move to the linnen side of my strop with thiers-issard paste.I do about 50 laps on this,finaly I strop until I'm popping hairs.
I'm pretty happy with the result,but then again I've never shaved with a straight honed by a honemeister.Any inputs on my routine? I read something about stropping on newspaper,where would that fit in?
