Tim Zowada razor w/ 3 stone honing routine 2k, hard suita, soft suita lots of stropping
youtu.be
A simple and easy to execute 3 stone routing. Shapton 2k bevel set, hard suita (or tomae) foundation stone and minimal time on the final suita finishing ston...

This video demonstrates one of the best examples of technique I have seen to date. It is similar to my own technique.

A minor difference would be that this gentleman is using a Soft Suita and Hard Suita, where as I prefer a Soft Suita and Hard Kiita.

For those looking to start with jnats, or refine technique, I find this video a must watch. The techniques shown here are not just limited to Japanese naturals, and can be implemented on other naturals and synthetics, with minor changes in expectation.

Another key point touched on this, that is often overlooked and undervalued, is palm stropping. In my opinion and experience, palm stropping is a must when finishing.

    This is a low more involved than my two synths approach, lol

    Why do you think palm stropping is important? How is it’s effect different from stropping on a regular leather strop?

      I can’t imagine it is much different from stropping on leather, with the exception that I don’t have to really do anything than give it some laps in hand, vs moving over to where my strop is and making sure the blade is free from any left over slurry. So… convenience? 😅
