I ended up honing the W&B in front of the T.V. for an other two hours last night (my girlfriend must think I've gone a little soft in the head ), still the same problem. I think I'll end up using it as a practice blade for when I get my greaseless compounds next week.

The stone you are using is far too coarse, the HD stone is a coarse/fine alu oxide stone that's about 150 on the coarse side and 320 on the fine side. You need a much finer stone but after 2 hours of grinding with the stone you have you might need a new razor.
