Hi,
Last night, I honed my first razor (a The 1000 that a friend gave me) after doing some restoration work. I watched a lot of videos on honing and I'd just like to thank all the experts like Glen who put all this great info out there. Like I saw on the videos, I stayed on the 1K grit until the blade was sharp, then just refined that on the 4k, 8k, and welsh thuri. I'm learning the thumb pad test and it was very valuable in judging the edge.
Thanks,
Ed
