Here is a post of a new guy taking a problem razor to shave ready. A little long, but full of good information for a new honer, with excellent micrographs, (Second Try at Honing).
Get some tape and good magnification.
Thank you for that. I made it part way through it tonight and it had lots of info that i needed. I'll read some more on what I'm getting into before I try any more. Seems like I started before knowing all I needed.
