I have 16 razors i use noton 4k/ 8k and my belgiums blue and yeliow all hones are lapped regular with dmt8c so they are all ways flat. If i hone all my razors flat in the x pattern when refreshing i never seem to remove marker from either one side or the other at the very tip of toe or the begining of the heal one side can be perfect the other may be a bit of marker can be seen. if i roll slightly the marker vanishes straight away .if i lead by the heal hitting hone first and then the toe leaving hone last. (rolling stroke)
i have tryed the 45 degree angle and the heal still does'nt hit the hone. Is this quite normal do you guys find this. i realy would prefer to hone flat as at least it seems a more consistant method and keeping blade flat you carn't real go wrong.
does it real matter if there is a tiny bit of marker being left at heal or toe just on the shoulder or just as the curve starts on say for for example dovo tortiose.
