I'm planning to visit IOM one day (I want to ride the track) so I'll be able to show you how - but you'll be good at it by the time I get there....:beer1:
will put some vids up in the finer things in life,as i have had a few people ask about it:tu
Either way works for me - met some guys that had done it a couple of years ago at Phillip Island - most fun they'd had with their clothes on, they reckon

If you are using the TNT/thumbnail test you are dulling your razor. MY advice is to peruse the classifieds and have a pro do it. There is just too much info to post in a reply.
3 - 8 is a bit of a jump, I've got the same naniwa 1 3 8 setup coming and the advice that I was given was to really do a good job on the 3 before moving to the 8, which sounds logical to me. I will post links to youtube vids that were helpful for me in understanding the sharpness tests
Straight Razor Honing Demonstration Part 1 - YouTube (part of a 10 part series it's not bad explanations about edge theory with pictures too)
Straight Razor Sharp Tests - YouTube
and the wiki is also full of useful info I could spend a whole year in there.
