I also torque the tang to lift the edge sometimes on finishing strokes

when I mentioned doing circles with slurry on an escher I had my finger laid on the blade, but that isn't even enough to jiggle a key on the computer
No it isn't. The barber in my sig was Tom Coppetto. The barber who sold me the hones was Frank Natale. Both very old guys who cut hair into their seventies when I knew them. The thing in my sig really does work for me and has saved me from nicks/cuts many times but not every time.
