I have not honed any of my razors yet but I just bought a Naniwa 12k this week. It is on its way. I have one razor in my rotation of 4 that needs a touch up. I'll test out my skills on the 12k SS this weekend followed by a few passes on a Crox bench strop. Thankfully there is much guidance on the wiki and Glen's and Lynn's videos to help me get started.
