Nice razor - get yourself another much cheaper starter blade asap.

Check the classifieds here and purchase a razor in the 5/8 or 6/8 range and try to have it shipped to you shave ready. That would be a good razor to learn on as opposed to a very expensive custom like above.

As far as honing, don't learn to hone on a blade like that - period. IMO, you shouldn't even consider honing until you're down with the technique of learning to shave and strop.

As for that blade, I'd put is aside for awhile until you were proficient in str8 shaving with a blade that will take the wear and potential dings and rolled edges as your learn how to shave and strop.

You don't want to ding that blade on the faucet and ruin it, nor strop it incorrectly and roll the edge on it and get frustrated with the resulting poor shave.

I'm sure others will add their advice, either way, great blade...welcome to the forum!
