    Not a good choice.

    However you are linking to woodcraft so
    consider the 15/5/0.3 Pinnacle abrasive film
    solution. If you have a flat granite tile
    from a partial box or some plate glass (flat)
    at a home center you might save a buck.

    15micron is about a 1000 grit.
    0.3 is finer than 8K...

    EDIT:
    If you already own a good black Arkansas
    it is OK to try but I do not recommend you
    run out and buy one for a razor.

    The best bet first hone to purchase is
    most likely a 4K/8K Norton or perhaps
    the 3K/8K Naniwa. If you are lucky and
    find an inexpensive barber hone that may also
    be sufficient.
