Text Appearing After Image: steady the motions and hold the razor even and flat on the hone, bearing on accord-ing to thickness of the razor. (Thin razors will not stand much weight or bearing on, as they are apt to spring i8 and make too wide a bevel),then turn over and repeat the same on each side twenty,,thirty or fifty times, until honed down to a good foundation for a fine edge. Thenproceed in the usual manner, always watching the bevel, keeping it even on bothsides. An uneven or one-sided bevel will cause a razor to cut badly (some Barbers-term it tired.) When you discover that you hone more on the point or on one side, reverseyour way of honing to even it. Few strokes, as before stated (to and fro) to beginhoning any razor, will help to keep the edge straight and to hone quickly. Sixth. Rubbing to and fro, as shown in cut No. 2, or reversing the stroke frompoint to hilt, as indicated in cut No. 3, pushing it from E to G and from F to Gr
