Ok I took the advice, acquired a Norton 1k, reset the bevels on 3 old razors, honed and got them to shave ready and shave tested.

After 1k I used 4k/8k then Naniwa 10k. Stropped with green paste on linen, then rough and smooth.

The edges I obtained are obviously ok but there's sharp and 'SHARP' if you know what I mean.

I'm just trying to attain that bit more and wondering how to get there.

How much pressure should I be using in the different stages of honing ? How light, how heavy?

Suggestions/advice please gents. Still wingin it here!

Thanks.
