I imagine that folks with a lot of honing experience develop favorite methods... Progressions of stones, natural or synthetic or combinations, that seem to work for them. I would think that they try to stick to this program as much as possible, at least in initial attempts.

Now, the questions...

Do your favored methods work on every razor, or do you have to compensate and adjust? I'm talking about changing stones in the progression, not just numbers of laps. And, if the most favored technique doesn't work fo all, why do you suppose not?

Do all razors of a particular brand or style resond the same to your efforts? And again, if not... Why not?
