Hi WindsorRaz,
Welcome to the wonderful world of straight razors. I'm in the Quad Cities and have been straight razor shaving for 5 years now. I've been honing for about 4 + years. I'm no expert, but do pretty well and have honed many vintage razors into my daily rotation. Be glad to meet with you sometime if you send me a PM. Be glad show you what I've learned anyway.

Nobody can run at birth.
We rock,crawl,todder,walk, then we run.
Its the notorious learning curve.
Sounds like your on your feet at a steady pace.
I suppose Lou mentioed a finish stone and the use of chromium oxide on the fabric side of a strop.
Sincerely
Mike
WindsorRaz,
It was my pleasure to share with you what others have shown me. You are off to a good start. I confident that your honing will go fine as you learn and progress. It was fun to talk and share wet shaving experiences and equipment. Nice to meet you and I hope we can get together again soon.
Lou
