I've got a straight razor that's in need of being re-honed, and it's also got a slight frown that I'd like to fix. Since I've never honed a razor, would this be too much of an undertaking for a noob? I'm assuming that I'd start with a 1k stone and reset the bevel until the frown is gone, then work up to an 8k to finish the edge? Are there any resources that anyone can point me toward that deal with fixing a frowning blade?

Also, I don't have any stones yet, but I'm going to be getting some soon. Unless someone can recommend a better alternative, I'll probably get the Norton Waterstone started kit that comes with the 220/1000, 4000/8000, and the flattening stone.
