Ran into this by chance, pretty interesting: I was a little surprised both by the circles and the 1:1 ratio between omote/ura. Also interesting is how he uses a diamond pasted strop seemingly not to refine the edge but more just to deburr it.

It does remind me of Iwasaki though, I think he had a similar deburring-with-paste thing in his classic book, been a while since I’ve seen that linked–well worth checking out if you haven’t: https://naturalwhetstones.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Honing-Razors-and-Nihonkamisori-by-Kousuke-Iwasaki.pdf
I didn’t know that-very cool 👍
