Good advice! I spent some time yesterday honing my Parker, and ran out of hair on my arms and lower legs (yes, I completely failed, and then I had to abandon). I’ll try again next weekend.
Thank you! As I mentioned, getting the feel of different sharpness levels takes a while with the packing peanut method, but it is consistent, you can test the entire edge, and you can test at each phase of a sharpening progression without much fuss.
