Honing razors is quite different from honing knives. We start at 1000 grit and don't think about shaving until we've come off an 8000 grit hone.
I suggest you PM our user unit (that's his screen name, unit) and ask him how well knife honing translates. He's got a lifetime of knife honing experience and, if I remember right, about a year of razor honing experience.
It's best, if you're still learning to shave with a straight, to have your honing done professionally. That way you know you're learning with an edge that is actually shave-ready. I spent about three years fumbling around with antique-store razors and woodshop hones, not learning anything useful about either shaving or honing, then finally bought a new, shave-ready blade and realized how wide of the mark I had been.
Also, if you have a nice razor, that's not the one you want to learn honing on. Find a junker and practice on that.
Where are you located? Fill that in in your profile; maybe there's someone nearby who can help you in person.
Good luck with it all.
