As a rule it is a good idea since you are starting from scratch. Once a solid bevel is set you should be set for life, barring no dings. Plus you have the King 1200. 1 layer of tape just so you dont...

It was my pleasure to help. To all the Mentors and fellow wetshavers. Thank-you for teaching me.

I do understand. No man ever became a master on his first attempt. Outback is correct about the videos. Videos dont convey touch and pressure. We all say the same thing but differently hoping that...

How about I send you a PM and I give it a try. You have given this a great first go. All is free, this is how we the guys treat each other.

Then do x- strokes to blend the heel into the remainder of the length of the...

Lets remove the black gunk. WD/40 works. Goof Off works. High grit sand paper works, Heck windex and the green side of a Scotch Brite pad will work.
Pretty clean steel is happy steel. Lets get it as...

Think torque, just think it while doing a...

Thank-you for making this easy. Pictures when you can will be appreciated.

Your King will be a great bevel setter. Once Norton 4/8K arrives that will bridge the gap to the 12K.
Right now you should follow the direction for a pro hone.
That point of reference will last a...
