It's a great journey, and there is nothing like having a shave with an edge you've perfected for yourself, that you learn after awhile just how you like the edge, exactly how many strokes after the stones to use on some CROX.
I'm going to link to a thread I posted awhile ago, a great little project, and something I still find to be incredibly useful, after the finishing stones, and if you even need a touch up.

@cwong - what you're describing is, "honing gymnastics", each razor is unique, and requires a different touch and approach. I've had razors that I thought would take hours to bevel set and progress to finishing stones take an hour, and others that I thought would be easy, took me two days, frustration sets in, and get up and walk away.
Glen's videos, as well as others help an awful lot as well as I'm sure you know....
And then enjoy the journey into HAD.....nothing like an Escher edge on a razor IMO....
