I don't know if anyone will get much out of this, but I took a few shots the other day while I was honing because there had been some discussion about "the rolling X" pattern for honing. The razor is one with a very pronounced smile, and the motion has been exaggerated to show the essence of what's happening. Each razor will require a different degree of "roll" in the honing stroke, so just take this as a basic instruction, you'll need to use your own judgement when implementing it. | I don't know if anyone will get much out of this, but I took a few shots the other day while I was honing because there had been some discussion about "the rolling X" pattern for honing.

The back and the edge touch the stone at the same time. You would use a traditional honing stroke using the full length of the stone, I just forgot to move very much while taking pictures. |
