Actually I don't have a hone, so I was just planning to send it off to be honed. I really don't know anything about honing at all. Is setting the bevel something I should be doing when I sand it, or is that something to do on the hone?

Thank you for your help! I'm thinking the edge will be okay. At least it doesn't look bad at all to me... I have continued my sanding obsession, and I've brought the blade up to 1500 grit. It now looks at least as fine as my hot-off-the-press dovo. Think I should get it honed now? Or should I scrounge up some 2000 somewhere and keep at it?
What yer lookin' at in the bottom pic is my camera lens reflection... :)

Damn fine job!
Wow! That looks great!
Another razor saved from the woes of corrosion...
