Welcome aboard, Jim! Sounds like you got yourself a really nice razor. The hone on the other hand...I'm not a hone expert, but I know that Zeepk makes pretty crappy products. I'm sure some experienced honemeisters will post in here shortly and shed some light on that, but I would spring for a barber's hone and maybe the Norton 4000/8000 waterstone if you want to get serious about honing.

Anyway, you will really learn a lot here. The members on SRP are extremely knowledgeable and accommodating.

Again, welcome and good luck, and definitely read the stickies!
