    The other thing to keep in mind is the razor was probably designed with a smile, meaning the spine likely also has a smile to it. BK the edge will more likely than not lead to problems honing it.

    Rolling x-stroke-learn you must.

    Anthogia-Most of my razors have major smiles-I just like the way they shave and look! I also learned to hone on them just using rolling, heel-leading x-strokes. Each one is different, and it will tell you what to do if you listen, look, and feel for
    what you are doing. In that sense they are great razors to learn how to "hone in" on your honing. This one taught me a lot (still is)!

    Those are really nice looking razors. Thanks for the response- I'm actually going to try the rolling x stroke tomorrow. If I can't get it on my own we're having a meet up this way on the ninth so someone there will definitely be able to guide me!
