    Great way to start!
    I think the happy dance is appropriate

    Awesome! I too had great help from both Glen and his videos when I started, if you pay attention you can't go wrong

    Don't be afraid of stropping more, after honing I do at least 50 linen and 100+ leather.

    Conversely don't be afraid to go back to the finisher for 5-10 strokes. It may save you time on the strop

    Well done!

    It's something very satisfying to the first shave with a self honed razor.

    What I have found on the Naniwas is that they tend to clog quite a bit and need to be cleaned quite often, specially the 1K. I use to give them 2-3 "8 figure" strokes on 340 wet sanding paper on glass. (I don't have a DMT yet, but that would probably be better)
    By doing this I feel they work better and gives a better edge.
    Need help or tutoring? Check out the  .
