Thanked: 485Sounds like an excellent approach. I see a lot of posts here where guys have a razor that's allegedly 'pulling' or 'tugging',which generates long stories about stropping and paste and bevel setting and pyramids and a plethora of tests and opinions and sometimes even conflict.
If more people took a more minimalist approach like you did and did the minimum number of strokes it'd save a lot of heart ache.
Having said that, those that hone razors for a fee would suffer a downturn in business equal to the GFC.
BTW, my standard touch up approach is 20 on the Shapton 16k for my Swedish razors and 10 for the others. However, I did 40 on the Shapton for the J A Hellberg (Swedish; harder steel) the other day and now it's scary sharp...Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
