I can see why the machined glass would be a little more practical. IT was hard to get the sandpaper to stay still on the counter top and I ended up holding the razor at a steep angle to grind out...

Can I do this on a counter?

Thanks for all of the advice thus far. I have been a little nervous about taking another razor to the hone as I am not sure what the results may be. In the meantime though I managed to create...

What kind of technique should I be using on the wet dry? And also, is it normal to encounter some resistance on the 4000 side of a norton?

I tried taking a wapieinca with a chip and I did what you all think I did I made the blade worse. I tried circles and strokes but this tiny tiny chip won't come out. Also I am noticing on my first...

I drew a grid and lapped the norton with a flattening stone. THe lines were gone in a matter of a couple minutes. Should I file those chips with sandpaper or should I just keep using the flattening...

Does the stone look as if it has been lapped? It was supposed to have been.

The larger chips happen to be on the back corner which I suppose is not a big deal. There are some smaller ones running along the edge that I am assuming would be since the blade would most likely...

I have a norton 4k/8k combination stone on the way from Howard. I also have a flattening stone coming, as well as a variety of wet dry sandpaper ranging from grits of 120-6000. I also have a 3 line...
