A new article about honing strokes

Gentlemen,

I finished my article about honing strokes.
Strokes for honing a razor - Straight Razor Place Wiki

Please check it out. All criticism and suggestions more than welcome.

Thanks,
Bart.

PS. Sorry Robin (Beberlin), but I lost your arrangement of those images in a nice gallery. I was not intentional, but I couldn't add text without loosing the gallery.

First rate Bart. Love the diagrams. :tu

Fantastic !!!!!

That says it all !!!!

Looks good! I like the pics too.:tu

See the discussion page and comment if you like

Not sure if that is what you meant or not

Thanks Bart!

Its great!

"even if the razor rest stable on a hone" Do you mean rests?

" build-in" perhaps built-in . . .

I would really emphasize the importance of equal pressure, stroke angle, distance, direction, etc. on each side of the bevel. I still think a lot of people miss the idea that a centimeter or two farther on one bevel edge creates havoc on geomtry.

You say it, but its hard to over-emphasize these things.

But you know . . . thats just me. :)

Just fix it. The beauty part about the wiki is that anyone can change it, but every change can be reverted at any time :)

Thanks Alan, I appreciate the language corrections, and I agree about stressing the need for a symmetrical back and forth stroke on all parameters. I will add a sentence about that.

Nicely done. I am always look to learn more.


Thanks,
Richard

Thanks! Those images you've done are great.
