Hello thebigspendur,
I honed a couple of hours on the soft arkansas hone. The convex side is even after a couple of hours. I think this is important when I have to hone or to strop in the future. The steel is very hard and the convex side completely touch the hone. So I think I must hone like a wedge razor. The other concave side should be hone like a complete hollow razor. The concave side needs only a few strokes.
Now my Kiku Hiro razor looks good an the convex side is even. So I can go on on my Blue Belgian an my Thuringian Hone.
After the Hones the japanese razor becomes a Balsawood stropping. At first with a chomoxid paste, after these the natural balsawood side.
I'm sure this razor will be very good.
with best regards, Paysbas
