Why didn't I think of that ? :gaah: That is a very useful tool Sham figured out there. :rock:
Seems Sham is full of great ideas, huh?!! All his videos are a must watch...Quote:

What's the trick?
When you hold the stone half way on your hand you can't use too much pressure or the stone will flip off your hand. This automatically sets the correct and even pressure, it also keeps the blade more flat on the hone as the hone will move with the blade. In addition it teaches a beginner how much pressure should be used.Quote:

So what happens when you use too much pressure and flip the stone and you either hit the razor with the stone or drop it on the table or floor or maybe drop both the razor and hone and break em all?:o
The following day we'll see an ad in the classifieds for slurry stones. :pQuote:

Very good tip. This is why Sham is the man!
Sigh... why do the Naniwa super stones have to come on a plastic base?...
Not all of them. you can find without plastic base too.may be a little more expensive.Quote:

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.

There was another similar thread/video where a person put their hone on a bottle cap or something similarly small under the hone and honed like that. The idea is the same - you have avoid applying too much torque to tip the hone, which forces light pressure.
If you have a hone on a base, instead of trying to take it off, you can just take a rectangular piece of anything about one inch wide, lay it across under your hone's base (to make a +), and do essentially the same thing. Or if you want to go even lower tech, take two pencils and lay them about an inch (or whatever distance you want) apart from each other and place the hone over top of that (like a + with two horizontal lines).
+1, varies depending on the situation and the what stage of honing we're in. IMHO.Quote:

The honing series Sham has on youtube is great. I've seen it several times and I notice something helpful every time. One of the things I learned is the slight back stroke he using right before his honing stroke. It really helps hone the razor!
Why make so much confusion?
Kelly was absolutely correct
when he mention NO PRESSURE.
The idea was to make video and show to people easy way to understand how to use Escher stone.
Only finishing stage of honing.
Even name of the stone (Escher mention on the video)
Lets say you keep 65% of stone and make strokes then
you loose the idea. You can use the pressure and make strokes because most half of the stone inside your hands.
This method shows how much someone needs to use pressure and finish the edge.
Applies only when you are using escher and finishing the edge.
This is why so many people struggles to use Escher.
This is just learning trick .
you have to make strokes and see how much pressure you can put.
after that you keep whole stone inside your hand try to put similar pressure and finish the edge.
I never said Keep stone half every single time when you finish the edge on escher.
Lets hope now this video will be clear.
