Thanked: 2591I do not know if what you bought was lapped before shipped to you, so you may need to lap the stones before you hone on them.
Once lapped soak for 10-15 min in water , and start honing.
From there on you have to learn proper honing technique, i.e. correct stroke, pressure , when to move to the next grit etc.
Honing is great fun and I am sure you will enjoy it.
You can search youtube for razor honing videos and watch to get an idea how it is done.
For starters here is a video by Lynn, in it he explains how to use Norton stones.
