Thread: Why an "X" pattern?

Nobody noticed X's Haiku on the X was actually a Haiku!?

Too deep for you, eh? I'll try to dumb it down a little for you next time.

X

I noticed

So let me offer my apologies for being a contributing factor here. I guess it's easier to repsond off topic than to show restraint in shutting up if there is nothing to contribute on the topic.

I'm sorry Kyle for my part in this.

No need for apologies, I was just being a bit sarcastic...

cheers,
Nenad

Hey, guys, don't apologize. I just thought I was getting a hard time for asking a stupid question. The poetry was actually pretty clever. Cheers

Still, you brought up a pretty valid point.

X
Y?
Zee, it's like ziss.

Typically, the x-pattern is for a stone or strop that is narrower than the razor blade ... so in order to get it all covered, you slide it across in an X pattern whch results in roughly equal coverage across the blade. And it also results in a more even wear on the stone, FWIW.

Y?
Zed it all before.

Jim - you are too kind. Nenad and Steve are right. I'm sorry. Sometimes (all the time...?) I can get a bit carried away (read "smart ass"). It wasn't my intention to give you a hard time. It's a good question actually, and not stupid in the least. I hope that some of the info. in the thread I posted previously is helpful.

James.
