Hello! I'm in the beginning stages of learning to hone and am slowly getting more comfortable with the mechanics, but I notice that I tend to get more fluid, even strokes when I make multiple passes in one direction. That means that I'm making say 10 strokes away from me one the hone before flipping the razor and making 10 strokes towards me.

Is there anything inherently wrong with that technique that I'm overlooking? I've watched several of the honing videos on Youtube and have tried to read all that I can, but I don't think that I've seen that specific issue addressed.
