I just recently began honing and got to where I could really put some decent edges on my ebay razors. So I thought. I would set the bevel using circles and then progress with 10 or 12 x strokes through the rest of my stones and then move to a pasted balsa then chromium oxide and then a final stropping. Today I was having trouble with one of my blades and was farting around on here and came across the pyramid tutorial. Man did it make a difference. Now all my razors are popping hairs mid way off my arm like crazy. Thank you guys for all this awesome info on this site!!
