    Smilers don't really need a narrow hone at all. Just concentrate on the part of the razor that is touching the hone, nearest the hone's edge (from edge of hone to maybe an inch in). Start at the heel and roll as you make an x-stroke down the length of the hone. Paint the edges with a marker and the marker wear will show you how even your honing stroke is. Mainly just try to give "equal hone time" to all of the edge.

    You might want to practice on a less valuable smilie until you get the hang of it. It's really not that hard.
