Basic honing, regular movement in strokes.
Hi everyone
I am quite new to honing, and wonder if you could be of any help in what annoys me most.
Though I find the stroke of the razor towards me during the x movement very fluid and regular, it is harder to maintain the razor flat when it goes away from me.
When looking at the edge , i do see a larger shiny edge on one side than on the other.
Honing with one hand would be no problem if I had to hone only with a stroke towards me, but I have to do both sides :), so I prefer to use both hands ; making sure not to put any pressure, just maintaining the razor flat one the hone, drawing and pushing. I obtain quite a good result with this method but I'd really like to use only one hand.
Is it just me or are there some of you who just can't hone with one hand ?
Is there a problem using two hands, even if one keeps in mind not to use any pressure ?
Is there a trick or position that i should take care of ?
How can i be so confident in a stroke and hesitant in another ?
