Here is another pretty important tip you have to read through the chaff

http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...-question.html
"basically don't push the razor back against the curve of the wheel, the razor edge stays pointing straight down. so that the wheel is never burning the edge off. . . . what you are doing is following the wheel instead of the other way around,,, Most of the time this is caused by holding the toe and the heel and pushing with the thumbs, DON"T do that... I rest my index finger across the back of the blade it is the safest and easiest to control that I have found."

Thanks for that. Really important basic information.

I'm reading the sticky now about walking a W&B through the progression.
