Just wondering about this because I know that people hone with paste they use a back hone or stropping stroke. And the reason I ask is that I was having trouble with lifting during my normal X strokes. When I started back honing I was more consistant throughout the stroke and finally got an edge worth shaving with. I understand many paths to the same destination, but I am wondering the pros and cons of this method. :hmmm:
Thanks for any feedback.
