First, what is a "thread"? Is it a subject here? Please excuse my ignorance because this is my first time trying to communicating in a forum.

I do have a question. I have a new Fromm razor which I thought was an adequate razor brand. When I tried to use it for the first time, I trashed my face. I'm pretty sure I wiped out any edge it originally had by the wrong stropping first, and then by a botched attempt to hone it. I used what appeared to be a marble stone I bought from a pawn shop years ago. On the bottom of the stone's wood base, it says Wyostones.tripod.com. Any info on this stone? I'm ready to try honing it again with my recently purchased Norton 250/1000 and 4000/8000. Should I start with the 250 and work up to a final polish with the 8k? Is the 250/1000 too much? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Jim
