Welcome to the forum. Being that you started honing your own blades, which video did you find most helpful?

Thanks for the welcoming words everyone!

There was a couple on youtube that I found quite informative. This one from Lynn Abrams was the best one for me https://youtu.be/ . I use a norton 4/8k and thats what is used here.

Be aware though it took me about 4 or 5 tries before I got anything remotely comfortable for a shave. I am sure my blade still isn't as sharp as it could be, but it works and isn't uncomfortable right now. I am expecting in a couple of weeks I will be needing another honing, hoping to continue to get a better edge with it.
