Welcome John, good to see a fellow Texan on the
Board! I would caution your statement
Of being "confident" at sharpening.
I thought I was confident at sharpening steel.
I have sharpened many knives, lawnmower,
And saws. I thought that background would
Transfer to razors. I have been working
On razors for 3 months and still can not
Get it sharp and smooth as it should be.
I would advise watching as Many videos
On the wiki as possible, they are a lot if help.
