From where did you buy it? I ask because it may inform us as to whether or not it actually had been honed.
Took it where it get it honed? Did you take it to a razor honer or a knife sharpener?
Have you successfully shaved with a straight razor yet? If so, then your face can be your benchmark, as an edge properly honed on the 1k can shave your face. If not, then you really should hold off on buying those hones. Actually, you probably should do that anyway, since the Norton 220/1k is not the best option, nor is the flattening hone.
