    Default Slightly off-topic but maybe useful knowledge

    Ok I don't think anyone will do this with his razor if he has a better alternative. Still I thought this was so original and useful that someone might have a use for this technique.

    Default I used to do that way back

    Yeah, that works for deburring a blade and I used to do that all the time 20 or so years ago.
    Then one day I was doing it to a Japanese style knife and sliped and cut a half inch deep slash across my thumb pad. That ended me doing that as a final after hone ritual.

    If you are going to do that I would use a bowl turned upside down on the counter and keep your other hand away.

    There are too many good hones out there to use so don't risk damaging your razor on a plate or bowl.

    My wife does few strokes on the bottom of a coffee mug almost every time she takes a clean knife from a drawer. It really works.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
