I know that stuff holds an edge on a metal lathe.

OK well good luck, I am sure you will get there eventually, you just might be prolonging your learning somewhat.

It's a good idea to be able to maintain your razors. I like my dmt 1200, Norton 4/8K and .5mu lapping film. I produce a very fine edge, including a gd66. I shaved with a gd66 today. The quality of the bevel is as good as most of my razors. I would put the shavability smack in the middle of my collection of 12 in rotation .
I bought all my hones from srd and film off of Amazon.com.
As far as prc , nothing but great shaves from them

Hi
I think I am making some progress.
I got a half decent shave with my GD razor. GD= Gold Dollar. Really worth what I paid for it :<)
The first half actually went pretty good.
By the end of my shave the GD razor had definitely lost its edge.
