Congratulations! That is one of the best experiences you can have. You did well.
Mine was with a Peyres #14 from Spain. Took me a whole evening, but the result was fantastic.

Thank you my friend, my first couple honing attempts on cheap razors were little disappointing. But this Puma is very good razor and the result is outstanding even if it took me more than six hours in total
