I HAVE DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought a Coticule 30mmX125mm, not big but what I could afford.(Sorry Steve, I know you recomended a 12k Chinese, but I fell in love with a coticule after watching LXEmergency's video.)
I lapped it (a bit)
Put some water on it, rubbed it with supplied slurry stone, plonked a dull but otherwise OK Kropp on top and did lots of X pattern laps on it, heel first. I kept going till the hone went dry and then a bit, stopped, stropped,tested, did it all twice more.
I then ran upstairs, did a hasty shave prep and actually shaved with the razor and the shave was fine.
The razor was NOT as keen as the shave ready razors I got off Steve Invisible (blueprinciple), but the razor did not "pull" when I used it and cut hair!
l know this is a small step and I doubt I could do much more than refresh an edge at the moment,but I am so proud of myself.
I won't be offering my services for many years yet though
I would like to thank Steve and various other people for their advise and encouragement, also the people who run this site
