I'm one to say 'go for it', however the majority on this forum discourage that attitude since it can lead to discouragment in a potential cutthroat razor user, I was one of those that just went for it and wasn't discouraged, but my learning curve and periods of time when I didn't bother with the CT was long...Years long, instead of months. In my defence I didn't have any help in any form whereas you have this forum and the Wiki, youtube etc.
Just remember to lap those hones before you use them, and that C12k...It's gonna take a while for the first time.
