New stones/ prep questions
Hello, I have stopped straight razor shaving for about 2 years now b/c I messed up my straight trying to sharpen it on an Arkansas surgical black... I got the norton 22/1k 4k/8k kit today from the best girfriend a guy could want. It came w/ the lapping stone. My question is should I round the side edges of the stones? I am afraid of my inexperience will damage my blade w/ the crisp edge on the stone? My idea is rounding the edges w/ my arkansas black and then lapping w/ the stone that came w/ the kit. Any suggestions? thanks. BTW I have never truly honed before...
