Hello and welcome to SRP! I agree with Havachat--don't worry about honing yet. Get a shave-ready blade and a strop, and practice your shaving and stropping for now. When you feel like it's time to learn honing, that might also be a good time to get a second shave-ready razor, so you'll be reminded what a freshly honed blade feels like. They change so gradually, like eyeglass prescriptions, that you forget how sharp sharp can be. So with your fresh blade for comparison, start work on your sleepy one. My first honing success came on a Norton 4k/8k and dogged adherence to the pyramid honing instructions in our wiki. Also spend some time reading and wrapping your head around the idea of setting a bevel. It's an easy idea, but it seems to take a while for some folks (like myself) to internalize it. Unless your bevel is set, all honing is in vain.

Until your shaving techniques are pretty good, you won't be able to distinguish between subpar shaves caused by subpar edges or subpar techniques, so you'll be juggling too many variables.

Best wishes and happy shaving.
