This is one of the reasons why I always preferred to hold the hone in my hand while honing, it gives me more feedback about the pressure I was applying while honing. Definitely a good tip!

I started doing that with my little thuringian (it won't fit any other way).
Very good tip. This is why Sham is the man!

Yeah, I'm thinking of taking all of my hones off their bases, JNats included, so that I can hone by holding. It really does make a HUGE difference for me. Originally Posted by AxelH

Well, I'm just guessing here, but I feel the first thing would be copious cursing directly proportional to the value of the razor and stone. That would be followed by more cursing, and I estimate some colofurl words would be gestated at this time. Some more cursing then, with arm flailing and stomping. Likely hair pulling too.

Uncontrollable sobbing is the next step. Despair and disbelief while posting to the Workshop forum under the title "I can't bleive I just did this!" with pictures of the damage.
A fair period of mourning will set in at this time - let's call it a month for an average razor and stone, and a year for a vintage stone and/or razor.
This is, as stated, just a guess, but I'm willing to bet beer that it's pretty dang close.
