First I would suggest that the razor is poor quality and may be no good for shaving. Second the finest side of the hone you have os only about half as fine as what is needed. You won't get there with what you have and due to the razor probably never will. In the library is a list of razors to avoid and one of good quality razors. For a cheap starter blade check out the classified. Should get it cheap and shave ready. Good luck. Ed
