i use black marker on all my blades to make sure the whole edge is hitting the hone i also observe the ripple of water on my hone in front of the cutting edge. On regular blades i find more often than not the marker can be left on the very toe or heal may be one side not the other this to me seems very common and despite were all ways told to keep the razor flat whilst honing i find i have to slightly roll my stroke as most of us no the rolling x i find 45 degree angle does'nt work for me but the rolling x is exallant but can take some practice to get it right i actualy find it quite an easy stroke to perform. i 'm going to try and get hold of a thin coti from bart as they are ideal for warps and smilys.
i also noticed you often see post people saying i have done 200 passes and my blade just won't get sharp at the heal or toe i nuster have same problem untill i discoverd magic marker.
my question is do any of you guys find the same problems and find your selfs honing with a slight roll more often than not? due to heals or toes just not qiute getting there my hones are always flat.
