So last night I tried my first attempt at honing. Started with an at bevel setting on a Naniwa 1k, then proceeded through 3k-5k-8k then to a natural coti for finishing. Initially it shaved a patch on my arm fine albeit a very small patch and didn't seem to shave along the whole blade. Tried a bit longer on the coti and I thought it had gotten better but no dice. Stropped and it shaved exactly almost nothing this morning lol. Honing is hard!
Looked under magnification this morning and it looks like I completely botched the bevel-set. Guess it's try number two tonight!
