I wish you luck in your adventure. Against all advise I did the same thing. I believe the structured approach prevents a plethora of "cant get hht5 off my stone", "this razor wont take a bevel" posts- you get the picture.
That being said, in a year your going to look back at the razors you wrecked and wish you didnt.
Remember, they arent making antique razors anymore.
Good Luck!
