I can see what Lynn means when he gets annoyed at sandpaper attempts, but I did test some 2000 grit sandpaper before I started sanding the blade, and it gave a decent edge (not one ready for shaving, by any means) which could cut hair without too much trouble.

Also, I have the patience required, I've hand-sanded the razor for ~5 hours now, with another 10 still to come before I get the finish I want, and after that I still have to hone it.

Thanks for the feedback,
