I honed it
Today was my first hone job. I have a razor that was as dull as a bread knife i got off ebay (had a neat tang mark) I decided I would use this is my first razor to hone. A big thanks you the member here and the wiki. With all that information I was able to shave with this razor tonight. Not the best shave ive had but better than some.

Great news, its such a satisfying feeling to shave with an edge you put on a razor yourself.

I just got started honing as well and I know the feeling of the first shave with one you sharpened. Way to go! And like others have said now I need more razors to hone...I'm sure you will want more as well.
