10-4 on that, no disrespect , but a razor is not even in the same category as a knife, I can lay an edge on a knife or chisel like you won't believe , and thought I could hone a razor too, that's why I gave up straight shaving in the 70, s , never got it shave ready. Enter 2013 I have o e done to see what shave ready is what a difference, not saying you won't pick it up , but until you have one done you,lol never know. I still don't hone after 2 years just because the edgeds that I get are perfect so I don't mess with it, I only refresh them which keeps them going for months or I should say indefinantly ,, just looking to set you up for the best experience you can have , and who knows maybe you got it there , but you won't know. Good luck. Tc
