Thread: 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.

Fantastic !!!!!

That says it all !!!!

Looks good! I like the pics too.

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.
