Got a Norton 4/8k but wtf is lapping?
Ok this new hobby of mine is more becoming a hassle.. The straight razor I bought a couple weeks ago can't give me a close shave at all. My Mach 3 is out performing it bar none.. SO I am figuring that the blade might not be sharp enough.. I bought it at a local mall ended up spending over $500 for a Dovo razor and silver tip brush and the whole 9..
Well anyways - I bought a Norton 4/8k online and should be here today, but now I am reading I have to BUY ANOTHER thing to lap it? wtf? really?
I also saw some people that said I can just use sand paper, if that is the case.. what kind of sand paper should I buy as far as grit?
sorry for the rant, but this is becoming more of a hassle then enjoyable in which I was really looking forward to.
PS. Please fix your library section.

Dude, if you are pissed now then wait till you try honing.
Here's a clue: it's hard also. So if you think the 4/8 is going to solve your problem you may be disapointed. strongly consider getting your blade honed by a pro.
