Thread: Setting the bevel "thumb nail test"

I understand what your saying but i tried with gliding the razor and it just didnt work for me, if it does work for you great!
as far as being faster perhaps but when i hone razors if i dont have time i just wont do it, speed is never a factor in my personal honing.
