When I've gone to the bay to buy a junker on which to practice my meager honing skills I have been distracted to go nicer. But I finally pulled the trigger (no big deal, shipping was more than the purchase price) and bought a blade...SCZO Razor....Pakistan! Yes, there are warnings about these, but I have it, and in my defense ...well, nevermind! When I opened the box, I nearly tossed it in the can. But it will likely cut the tape on my next purchase...with a little effort.

To the point. I am making progress on my norton 4k/8k followed by yellow coticule. I can achieve a shavable edge on a decent razor...not like those of the blades made shave ready by the pros. Can I learn anything honing this piece of junk I just acquired? Will it hurt these stones I have? I figure I can get better holding a blade to the stone, maybe develope some muscle (or even some brain) memory. Thoughts? Dont think too hard...its a $5 razor!!

Thanks all.
