I still don’t understand your pragmatism, Leo, but I’m very glad we’re still friends! 😉
Zig – I think either approach will work – from the lower angle up , or higher angle down.
The one thing that may interfere with the finished edge is some “brushing” of the edge from the leather paddles, which may round the edge of the edge, making it lose some of its total sharpness. So in this light, I would recommend finishing at the highest angle with several, very light alternating strokes.
