Hi there I havent posted in a while but i thought I should share this;

I had a day off today so thought I'd try honing away on some of my razors.
I honed two razors relatively quickly, to see how quick I could hone... a number of 30 halfstroke sets later both came off not up to snuff

Next honing session, same razors and I thought I would slow it down... ALOT.
it took 2 secs each stroke on a 150mm long coticule just to give you an idea of the speed of stroke
I did 10 halfstroke sets and could feel it grip after dulling on glass and doing 1 set.
I honed like this on both razors and the edges were beautiful
near mirror edge from my dressante and mirrored (as close as you can get with a coticule) from my la verte

I was used to speeding through honings but, after this, efficiency of stroke seems to be paying off... has anyone found this?
