Hi Mike, thanks for the inspiring words from you, Bob and the rest of the SRP forum guys.
Looking forward to learning the honing tricks and having a proper wet shave experience in the near future.

Welcome to the forum! Sorry if I repeat anything already covered. I'm still a student of honing myself, but the gentlemen here are incredibly helpful. The more you read on here about honing the more beginner mistakes you can avoid.
Steel is only person I know of off the top if my head that often hones razors beginning to end using different grades of novaculite (Arkansas stones). He may offer some advice on the best way to utilize your stone.
Thanks for that info JP5.
I have acquired a 400/1000 stone for my other knives and reckon the Arkansas stone I have is way finer than 1000. Feels closer to polished marble to the touch, although I realize that’s no real test.
And yes, the feedback so far has been incredible - when I first started searching for info on SR, best part of a decade ago, it was difficult to find decent info on the subject, so finding the palace and the support so far has been fantastic.
