    That's absolutely correct. I think that's why, in the past, barbers used to use lather on their barbers hones. It'd give the razor just that little bit of cushion while honing thus eliminating the pressure of the razor on the abrasive.

    I always just use the weight of the blade for the last part of my progression.
