All this is good discussion as honing is absolutely not total science and there can be as much variation as there are in razors. The thing that I have seen the least talked about is the results demonstrated in the actual shave. I would be interested in discussing with anyone who has honed at least 1000 razors, how much experimentation they have done and what has worked best overall......lol. Lynn
