That is a good approximation yes.
Leighton's ebay example, in my opinion is not a frown, but a smiling toe. I would not grind that away. Barbers used to do that deliberately because it made the razors shave better by providing a scything approach.
Thanks. Don't know what else to call it. Its not a smile:) and its not a frown:mad: its an Elvis or a half smile. But as we are typing Elvis is one word and half smile is two words. So one word is faster.:D
Now that we have some understanding. Can I hone this regular or roll it or what?:shrug:
I call this sort of curve a smirk

I will refrain from any political comments about that smile. Of course if it was Clinton I'd say something like..
"Yeah, to bad I can't show you whats below the frame"
or something like that.
BTW I like smirk, but Elvis just has more style. IMHO.
As far as your honing question goes, I'd say yes, do most of the stroke with even pressure and then do a bit of a roll near the end. This would be exactly the same as the final part of a rolling X.
