Howdy all,
I've been doing some honing on blades need some advice from you guys.
At first i thought my X-stroke was working well for me and getting great result. After a few shaves though I noticed that the toe of the blade was never as sharp as the rest.
It leads me to guess that my stroke isn't consistent and somehow the toe isn't getting the same amount of work, or it is being lifted off the stone.
Does anyone have some tips on how to get a consistent good stroke, or am i just gonna have to keep practicing and watching the blade as i hone.
