I have never honed razors with just trailing edge strokes, but I added a trailing edge component to my half strokes. Traditional Japanese knives are normally sharpened with trailing edge pressure, and some heavily recurved knife blades require it too. So I have done it; just not with razors.

Great composition on that picture BTW! 😊

Yeah, the idea just presented itself as I was looking through SOTDs earlier today ;-)

I’m half convinced my edges are better since I’ve switched to trailing edge strokes only, followed by deburring on loaded canvas. At the same time, I’m so new to honing that this doesn’t mean much 😄

  As you know, Todd at Science of Sharp makes a very good case for using your method.
