    Correct me if I'm wrong, since I don't know a lot about DE's, but can't the blades be honed on one of the concave hones and stropped in one of the old vintage stroppers?

    Yes but you need to have the correct blade for the given razor to start with.

    I have an unopened 5 pack which is going to remain that way. I did take my unopened 1 blade pack and tried to shave with it. No luck with that on my face. I took a shot at honing it on a regular stone and it is too difficult, IME, to maintain a correct angle. I might try slurry in a water glass and see if the curve in the blade might match the curve in the glass.
