so i've been lurking on a number of forums for a few months now, i've switched to wet shaving, and in preparation for the switch to straight razors, i'm making one.

i'm a knife maker, and i can put a "razor edge" on a blade. i fully intend to get this thing shave ready and i'm going to stone to 12000 and all that, but is there anything else vitally important i need to know to get this piece shave ready?

also, are there good videos online, i learn by seeing and i suck at the internet.

appreciate the help,
