I have found that the circle process is the most consistent and repeatable process to use when honing and I am honing almost all day every day. I can rely on this process to get excellent edges first time through virtually all the time. Thanks.
very nice video, but I found I can only pass HHT on my jnat if I finish on plain water with no pressure (maybe even lift the weight of razor during honing), the less pressure applied, the sharper the edge
I've noticed you're the only one who uses the circles (as far as I can tell from the videos on youtube), is there and advantage to using the circles instead of the traditional strokes? Thanks!! Really enjoy your videos.
I'm getting a Shobudani Asagi in a couple of days and a naniwa 1000 traditional. I need to lap and finish them. I was thinking of using DMT 325 for major lapping and a 1200 for final finish. Do you think this would be ok?
Hi Lynn I have noticed that when you put the blade on the stone there is a clicking sound, are you placing the the spine down first or are you placing the blade on flat? say around the 8:20 mark. (I can't tell based on the way youtube does the frames to audio ratio.)

thanks. I love you videos they have given me the confidence to go ahead and purchase some stones and learn to do it myself.
I like your ring
You could use an Asagi stone for slurry. I was using a generic slurry stone. The method will work with either.
The spine is hitting the stone on the sound you hear as I place the blade flat to begin the stroke.

I normally just use the DMT 325 to lap all my stones. No problem in my opinion, to use both if you want to.
I have the same Stone and I have 3 nagura botan tenjyou and mejiro which is the best to use for this process

Hi Lynn, I was wondering if there is any natural whetstone for bevel setting only ?
