I don’t really have much experience with straights or honing them. I have learned a lot about knife sharpening from the science of sharp blog and it appears he did a razor write up. https://scienceofsharp.com/2016/04/14/simple-straight-razor-honing/
Yeah, that’s a great resource to get started, I used it too.
Todd at Science of Sharp mostly did razor sharpening for his early posts. In the last few years he branched into analyzing some of the supersteels used in knives.
Great resource!
