I have a few razors that I would like to get to work on. Currently I have 0 and 0000 steel wool, NeverDull, and Prism metal polish. Not much to go with. I have seen people talk about sandpaper, emery cloth, micromesh, etc.

I've never used emery cloth but understand it to be an abrasive on a cloth backing, this would seem to be a lot better than using sandpaper for razors. Would I be correct in this assumption? Are the grits the same as sandpaper? What grits should I start out with for pretty tarnished and slightly pitted razors? I looked at the sticky and saw '150 180 240 320 400 600 1000 1200 1500 2000', is just for sandpaper or does it also correspond to emery cloth and micromesh? Should I forget about emery cloth and micromesh and just stick with sandpaper?

Looking at the tool used in the sticky I can see how that would work going from spine to edge but I cannot see how it would work going from heel to toe, at least on a full hollow ground. I don't see how it would make contact with anything other than the extreme left and right side of the tool, basically leaving the middle of the razor untouched. Perhaps I'm looking at this wrong.

The sticky also did not mention wet sanding, when should I go from dry to wet?

I really would like to start buying supplies, just not sure just what to buy
