What do they mean by "lay the razor as nearly flat as possible and cut in a sloping direction"? Flat as in shallow blade angle? Sloping as in the tip leading approach or scything?

It's interesting to see the instructions that come with razors. I'm sure it's a translation issue, but my Dovo instructions seem to use "hone" when they mean "strop" and caused me all sorts of confusion when I first started.

Thanks for that mparker.
