You have quite a few things going against you on this...

First off your new
Honing a Salter can be a effort in futility, they are not on our recommended razor list, but that is more because of the cost than the fact they are hard to hone.. Salter's can be made shave ready, BUT essentially you could have had a proved DOVO instead for the same money..

Anyway back to honing that puppy, second, you don't have the stones
They are notorious for a hard bevel set, then they have to be babied into the final edge....
You need a complete set of hones and you need the experience to use them to get a Salter to shave...

I would recommend two things, find another "Shave Ready" razor, and then send the Salter out to be honed... and then you can smile...
