Burr Free Sharpening Technique

[jasonstone20]

Not forming a burr while sharpening is a sharpening technique favored by a few people, namely Cliff Stamp and Sal Glesser (also most straight razor honers) although they use different techniques.  I use both methods of sharpening, forming a burr or not, but when I ask people if they use burr-free sharpening, the answer is almost always the same:  I can't get it to work for me.  The people asked are usually experienced in sharpening, so this puzzles me.  It took me about a week to get burr-free sharpening down.  I am wondering what people think about burr-free sharpening, if they use it, and how to get the technique to be learned easier and faster, as it can help with all forms of sharpening.
