Working on my Honing this week while I wait for some nickel silver rod to arrive in the mail
I thought I would get some honing out of the way as it was piling up, so progressed from the shed to the back deck,
first time honing sitting down also which is a damn site better on the back
20 blades all up to do (some not shown are in the bathroom for shave testing) from touch ups of dulling or harsh edges but most are full bevel sets to finisher

progression is
Norton 240/600 ( not shown for serious bevel set & chip removals) laps as required
Nani 1K - circles & X stroke as required
Norton 4/8K - 20 laps X strokes each
Nani 12K - 20 laps X strokes
Chrox 0.3 on Balsa - 10 laps X strokes
Ferox 0.1 on Balsa - 10 laps X strokes
strop
50 laps on Felt
100 laps on leather (English Bridle or Roo)
yes that's about 5,000 laps set(10,000 passes) in total by the time I'm done should get the muscle memory locked in
shave test 4 str8s per shave @ 1/4 face each (unless they are harsh then straight back on the refresh pile )
shaving every 2nd day should be done in a couple of weeks LOL
