What kind of paper? Is the purpose to provide a bit of give? Would it work over a piece of balsa or leather?

I am wiped out after 2 razors in the same day. My hands aren't very steady after that much honing, and I need to go do something that requires larger movements than honing. I don't hone very often having 8 or so razors that are shave-ready.hmm.... that my friend is a lot of razors........

I have no idea how honing 12 razors a day would be! Obviously the fastest method that provides excellent, desired results makes the money. $53k/year before overhead, expenses, etc... Wow.

He'll be here all week. Try the veal.
I gotta put them on something that's comfortable to work on.I think that would take up a little more room than your films.

Ok, got my films in from rick last night and gave them a whirl. I had a vintage sheffield wedge that wasn't up to my standards and was being a PITA and I finished up a restore of another last night. Both were honed in my standard progression of Chosera 400, 1K then coticule dilucot. I normally go to the escher after this, but the first wedge didn't get any better so I think I didn't get my dilucot right completely on it.
Regardless, I then took each to the 1 um film and then the 0.3 um (no sheet underneath as I hadn't read that). Result - very keen and very smooth edges. Really shocked! I don't see these ever replacing my stones, but for PITA razors and possibly wedges I will probably be looking at these.
