Hi
I am researching honing methods before I dive in and give it a go! Most of it makes sense, but everything I've read suggests you should hone a razor by moving it in a "blade first" direction, and i was wondering why?
Not sure why, but I would naturally go with a "spine first" direction (like stropping)?? I figured if you'd rolled the edge etc then doing it spine first would smooth things out a little easier???
Does it cut quicker, blade first??? I assumed it wouldn't make much difference what direction you use??
Sorry for the naivety, but I was just wondering......
Thanks
Matt
