Hi Maxx, and welcome. I started learning to refresh in September, using a Chinese Guangxi hone (been working great so far for me with just that and then straight to a leather strop). A lot of good answers to my questions about refreshing and lapping hones in this thread here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/hones...se-hone-7.html

You might find the info useful. Good luck, and enjoy your new razor!
