Now that you mention it, I have a specific towel I had on hand when honing. Going from one grit to the next or at least once during the final pass I lightly stroke the razor edge across the towel...very light. If there is a wire hair hanging at the blade edge, the towel will grab it and remove it before it comes off and gets under the blade edge during honing and causes a small "scar" along the polished edge. That's just me, and other my agree or disagree.
