I use lapping film honing and the same technique for all my razors. Lately I have added more laps finishing on 3M light green/1 micron film. Works great with my Swedish blades. Not so much for a Herder and a Revisor from Solingen result was sharp but not as smooth as expected. Time spent finishing play a part? Different steels need different styles of honing? Or I just had a bad honing day?
