    Default what do I need to get my razor real sharp? (sweden))

    I got an old erik anton berg for christmas. this model: Erik Anton Berg Razor - Badger & Blade

    I've tried shaving with it two times before the first time I was stropping it in the wrong angle and the result was of course a razor that was not very sharp. I had to finish the work with my old mach3.
    I then found out that the angle was wrong and strapped it a lot in the right angle with the spine against the strop. that kind of repaired some of the damage I've done to it in the first place and the edge was sharp but I guess not sharp enough. I tried shaving with it and It went pretty good but the edge got more and more blunt trough the process.
    I got cut on a few places at the end and now the edge is real blunt and it doesnt get
    much better with stropping. Did I destroy the blade in some way? do I need to hone it? I currently got no hones. what do I need? I looked around a bit and found these.

    norton 4000/8000 1199kr ~ 120€ I've seen this is recommended by a lot of people but is is really worth the money? it seems to be a lot cheaper in the US.

    I guess i need something with a lower grit to? or can I just use one of these and put more time in to it? what grit is recommended to start with?
