What if he doesnt get it right? I dont feel like sending that razor over the pond repeatedly. I'll buy hones and eventually I'll get it right. But it is disappointing as I bought this razor in order to have a reference point as to how sharp my razors should be after honing and stropping.

I'm not stropping, still waiting for Tony to get back to me with a PP invoice for a 3" strop. I've got this paddle and 2 pastes and 5 dull blades, with a 6th on the way. I need to hone these first, but I'm confused as to what hones I need. I think I'll just get a Diamond plate, Norton 4/8, Sharpton 16k and a microscope and take it from there.
