I will have to agree that the best way would be to learn on a crappy ebay razor.However, an old razor with uneven hone wear will be much more difficult to get shave ready than a new razor with a uniform bevel.The hone wear would not be good, but he could avoid that to a large extent by taping the edge.
Yes, he would have to reset the bevel, but this can be done with the norton 4000.I have done it many times, but it takes some effort.With a properly lapped hone, and some patience, I don't think that this would be an impossible task.I think you are plain wrong, when stating that less then one percent would be sucessfull.IMO the way with trial and error, is the best way to learn.As I stated, I was in the same situation, and came out fine.That was with a significantly more expencive razor, and it still shaves great as most of my razors do.And I have honed every singel one myself.
