Hey guys, I found this here:
Fine Razors - Razor Sharpening
It seems very nicely written and is also very clear with the pictures. I thought I'd share it :shrug::medvl:

Very interesting. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the pictures would certainly not be indicitive of how I hone, but neat none the less.
From the tutorial:
"This is the point where it is easiest to make a mistake – it still happens to me sometimes! The bevel has not been fully established, or there are tiny nicks („flea bites“) remaining in the cutting edge. Instead of persevering with the „1000“, one thinks to onesself „the finer hones will take care of these tiny irregularities“, and switches to the next stone, thus damning oneself to hours of pointless and frustrating work."
I like that bit!
This is from our German fellow Buddel, right?
