Do you have a strop? If not start there first. If so then what I would do and I'm no expert but I would do 4 or 5 laps on the dark side followed by 5 on the light side and check if you can shave arm hair with it. If so, then I would personally go to a pasted strop 5 or 10 passes then to the linen for 30 passesand finally on the leather for 75 passes. But as stated above I'm no expert
