I got my Waterville Cutlery razor back form Lynn last night, and purchased one from him tonight. The one I bought tonight will be my "benchmark" razor. I'm currently working on a Simmons razor, 5/8 blade. This thing was DULL! Wouldn't shave my arm hair. I ran it over the Norton 4/8 and got it to the point it is shaving hair. Tonight, I spent a LONG time on the 4k side of the Norton, but no improvement. What is the "coarsest" stone I should start with, or do I just need patience?
