Talk:Strokes for honing a razor

Gallery Option

I wonder if something like this could be done?

The Strokes

The Regular X-Stroke For the majority of razors with a straight edge. This is the basic stroke for honing razors. Continually shifts the points of contact that the blade makes with the hone, compensating for small discrepancies in blade geometry and thus effectively assuring that the entire edge receives attention.

The 45 degree X-Stroke The back side of every razor ( I have heard of left handed razors out there, but have never actually seen one, they would be reversed)

That looks really great, I think. I tried copying text into the original gallery, but it kept showing up at the weirdest places. In the end removed the gallery and decided the apologize to Robin for that.

I'll change it myself, based on the syntax of your example. Who knows, I might learn something. ;-) Thanks.

Bart,

This is sterling stuff. If in doubt, feel free to pop into the chat. There is usually someone around who can help.
