AND it's time you got a half decent 8K stone and some CromOx on a home made balsa wood strop, the WIKI will help you out on the plans for that fairly simple project, it's my opinion young grasshopper, your ready for the next level.
Now get some older slightly better e-bay razor to work on and prepare for MUCH better results.
That's my bloddy 2 cents worth, and some might just say that ALL it's worth but then some might agree with me.
Have a Great G/day!! And of course a BBS every day.
