Yeah I wish I had a huge pile to go through to get better. I'll keep it up.
I'm definitely going to do the black marker. I used to do that with knives - don't know why I didn't do that here.I love living in the past...

Update:
I took several of Glen's recommendations-
- Walk away for a day
- Put two layers of tape vs. 1
- Varied pressure a little based on where I saw the bevel forming
Got hairs to pop really good at 1k, then went though stones and stropped. What a buttery smooth shave. Feels good to get that success and bring a $20 razor back to life. Many thanks to all for the advice. On to the next one!

It really is alot of work to bring a 'knifed edge back to bevel. I'm still not settled on what I want to use - but definitely something more coarse than a 1k. A 2-300 grit would be attractive
