Thread: What's Your Touch-Up Sequence

I have a full set of Naniwas, so I typically do 5-10 laps on my 8K and 5-10 laps on my 12k. I have had very good results with this sequence. My reasoning is that these are the last two operations I use when honing a razor following bevel setting and sharpening.

Anybody else?

Same as mine, I call it "Drop 2 and go"

Which basically means drop two grit steps from where the razor was honed last, and go hone

If it happens to be one I did on naturals (rare for my personal razors) then I use the end sequence of the "One Stone Honing" technique that Lynn and I posted some time back, basically about 20 of those pigtail strokes on light slurry and then dilute out to clear water with X strokes...
