Hey everyone,

So I'm still a newbie at honing, but have gotten decent at it. I've always had to use two hands while honing to keep the entire blade on the hone. In the past I've tried several times only using one hand, without much luck, the blade always seemed to lift off the hone somehow. So I don't know what it was about tonight, but I was able to do a complete honing session solely using my right hand. I was able to set the bevel on the 1k, then several strokes on the 4k, then I did a pyramid with the 4k/8k. I didn't have ONE issue with keeping the spine on the hone!!! I was actually able to hone properly without applying any pressure on top! I've seemed to have found the way of holding the razor while honing that works just right for me. It may not be a big deal to some, but it is for me. I actually had fun honing tonight! Just thought I'd share my enlightened experience,

Dave
