This newb agrees 100%. Especially with the last part. I've sharpened over 100 razors now (well, not that many razors.... many were sharpened over and over again to practice), and I'm just now to where I can really set a nice bevel.
And one point that really has to be stressed: All newbs need to have a honemeister sharpened blade to compare their work to. It should be a mantra all newbs should have to repeat on a daily basis. Since the razor in question is the OP's only blade, he needs to have it sharpened and fixed by a honemeister so he has a benchmark again.
A high quality blade is just not one a guy should learn repair and honing on. You can grab a double arrow off of ebay for ten bucks. Buy one, put a chip in the blade, and go nuts learning to repair and hone.
