Thread: Pyramid honing method?

Hello everyone i have been looking around and ive seen many different types of honing Pyramid techniques i will be using the Norton 4k/8k and going to set a new bevel to my new never been honed broker, here are some of the links of pyramid techniques link: http://straightrazorpalace.com/honin...g-pyramid.html link:Pyramid honing guide - Straight Razor Place Wiki if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Search "JaNorton" I think you might learn a trick or two in that thread

Yea the JaNorton threads and videos are priceless. Check out videos on Yutube. There is a link in the Wiki here on srp that breaks it down easily. You dont necessarily have to start with 25 strokes. I start with 15 and if I have to go up I go up. I love this method. It is quite useful.

I just use the pyramid method for honing and I think it worked great. I will test the blade tonight when I shave. The 1 question I have and what I don't understand most is what do I drop down to if it's not correctly honed? I use nanis so the 3k or the 8k?

Thanks gssixgun I watched your video on YouTube and I think I will go with that.... And I'll check out the janorton thread.

I believe u go back to the 8 k .. Few strokes then shave her.. I'm a noob also but that's what I have been told..
