Thread: Dull a la Barber Hone

Sorry, Super-Noob Here -
I bought a Boss Barber Hone from another SRP member and couldn't wait to "touch up" my nicely honed new-to-me from JoshEarl that I have shaved with for the last few weeks with only regular stropping. Needless to say, my sharp blade has been dulled by my inexperienced hand. I used lather as instructed on the box but did not execute the X pattern properly (I found out after doing further SRP research).

What can I do now? The only hone I have is this Barber Hone. I don't really want to go through the divorce that would probably follow my entrance with a Norton 4k/8k. I do have a Rockler (sp?) Woodworking store with sandpapers and 12k Japanese water stones (and Nortons for that matter). Any way to salvage it myself? Josh has offered to re-hone but I would rather do it myself. This is my only straight as well. Suggestions?
