Hi all,
So I was back at work on the razor today, LOL.. BUT! I also spent the best 5 bucks I've spent in a long time on a mini-microscope off ebay. Here's the ad for it if you're interested, it's...

Wow, thanks for the quick reply guys! The hone is soaking again and I have a comfortable seat for another try. No more finger nails and I'm going to try some circles tonight. And yes, in my minds...

Hi all,
I recently decided to give this a crack and ebayed a Rogers XY Quality Sheffield. It seems to be in pretty good condition (I didn't see it on the avoid list). I have a 4k/8k combination...
