If you are hearing a slapping sound, be careful, you may be lifting the razor as you roll it and could damage the edge.

Congrats! I did something similar a year or two ago with my grandfathers blade. I t was a lot of work but it is doable. I really loved the part where you talked about the water running up the blade...

I have a similar, if not the same question. Hand sanding, or any other sanding will dull a blade fairly quickly.
