    You can find some good practice on e-bay for sure. Don't forget to lap that 4/8k Norton or will will go round and round. go slow and pay attention. This is a great place to study up. gssixgun / Gemstar Customs - YouTube

    The DMT is better but I just checked the price and remember why I got a Norton plate. I didn't plan on honing many razors and if I did I would go DMT for sure.

    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    I went as the instructions indicate and plan on using 600grit sandpaper to lap the stones about how much should I lap it for?

    Take a pencil, mark a big X on the whole surface and when it disappears it's done.
    When looking for a razor to practice, try to take one that is already sharp, because if it' dull it'll take you too long on the 4k.
