Thread: Video of me honing, please critique

Tips and pointers:

Be very careful on what stones you put soap on I would never put it on Norton's, Naniwa's, or especially Shapton's...
I do use it on Naturals and DMT's

Your asking for tips and pointers but yer honing as fast as Bart, Slow Down...Honing is way more about accuracy then even stropping. I wouldn't hold a stone in my hand until you have been doing this so long that you are giving this advice instead of asking for it... Hmmmm I still don't hold a stone designed for tables.. 8x3's on the table, 2x5 in the hand, if the hone is wobbling like yours is while you hone, I would seriously put it on the table...

Yer movement and comfort with moving the razor across the stone is looking good...


PS: Name of medical tape????????????????????

The reason I'm fast/comfortable (I'm not justifying it, I'll take your advice) is that I picked up a worthless razor and practiced on a hunk of slate I lapped lol.
Also, why would you not use soap on your synthetics? It's seemed good so far... I mean I've only honed/rehoned like, 10 razors maybe? but it doesn't seem to hurt the stone. And its like, literally nothing. Like, I take a gallon of distilled water (can be bought) and literally a drip or two of dish soap, shake it up, and put it in the closet til I need it. I'm sure there's a good reason, I just wanna know why.
lol
I dunno the tape brand. I go to the trainer and am like I need tape so they're like here you go.... it says Johnson and Johnson made in Brazil on the inside of the roll.

Also, I think I made it clear that it was uncomfortable holding the hone like that, and I know it wobbles- my normal posture is to rest my hand and one edge of the hone on my thigh and basically do the inverse of stropping.
