    Nice job, how do you plan on honing it? what's your progression of strokes/stones?

    I already use jap waterstone to sharpening my gouges.
    so I'll use the same stone series to sharpenig this razor
    i'll start with 1000 grid, then 4000, 8000 to end with a 10000
    but any suggestion is welcome

    If that progression gives you the desired results, gives you a comfortable shave, then keep on going with it! It sounds like you have a good routine!

    Nicely done work from the photos. The old razors can be habit forming!

    Have a quick read here. For future, there are so many articles on here, give the site a quick search and you'll most likely find your answers
