Arrgghh, more new tricks for an old dog to learn. Thanks Robin and the Wiki crew, this looks like a really handy resource once I figure it out. Maybe a neat way to do a honing log ?

An old barber told me to hold the razor securely but lightly enough so that is if it pulls the razor will flex in your fingers and be less likely to nick. He also told me to never force it if it does pull. Following that advice I have rarely gotten a nick.

The longer I work at this sport of honing razors and the more I read and try it hands on the more I've come to the conclusion that if Lynn said it I believe it and that settles it.
