Thread: The proper pressure honing

Hi folks

Some comentaries about my video:

1 - It is never to set the bevel of course.
2 - It is maybe not to start sharpening
3 – I would say polishing and finishing even when I understand that finishing is better not exactly on a stone.
4 – It works for me to do the Norton pyramid.
5 – I do not know how does it work on other stones even when I do not see reasons that it couldn’t work.
6 – Works great to the maintenance.
7 – It is better to sin for lightness than over pressure.
8 – Consider that you can regulate the control of the pressure by changing the size or shape of the object you put under the stone.
9 – Definitly can help beguinners to regulate the “hand”.
10 - I Think there is never so much lightness when we are talking about a straight razor.

Make sense ?

And about my weding ring:

The first one was too small and Ive used it for one year on my litlle finger.
Than Ive decided to do the right thing and I changed it for a bigger one but that day was hot and my hand swollen. Then Ive decided to wait my hand and fingers grow and get larger with my age. Im still waiting. Anyway, I like that stile thing theory.

Thanks for this... great stuff.
I did not like the ease to 'tip' the stone as it teeters on the grommet, but it really does help define / develop the tactile mechanics at the finishing end. It's a good baseline to help gauge what level you do apply pressure.

gibbs: watching him roll the kamisori on its edge made me cringe.. but yeah, it seems ppl use more pressure when honing kamisori.. also looked like he went from a 3000 grit to chromium oxide.. interesting... almost ghetto even
