Thread: When did Breadknifing get popular?

Sorry I don't mean to offen anyone but when did this become a accepted/recommended honing technique?

I remember a few years back when I started that this was verboten! you were to carefully hone out chips in order to preserve the bevel.

Now it seems like every honing noob rips the whole bevel right off as soon as they get a razor. Why?

What happened to just honing the chips out, sharpening it up and shaving?

Sorry for the rant but I'm seeing so many posts that start like this:

"so I breadknifed my razor and now I can't get it sharp"
