Honing newbie - suggestions?
Honers,
I went ahead and bought the Norton package mentioned in this thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/showthread.php?t=20605. The stones arrived today and I'll probably begin my investigations into honing tomorrow. So based on the materials that I have (see below), what would be optimal for finishing a razor?
Norton 220/1k combo
Norton 4k/8k combo
Pasted linen strop with 0.5 CrO (from ChrisL)
Illinois leather/linen strop
Gugi was kind enough to sell me some practice razors at a reasonable price. He set the bevel for me so now I need to determine where to start the pyramid and how to finish the razor once it comes off the 8k. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
