I have never honed razors with just trailing edge strokes, but I added a trailing edge component to my half strokes.

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 ๐Ÿ˜„

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