Please give some pointers I need to finish the blade by Tom

On ebay o a search for diamond paste. It comes in various grits and you use it with a dremel tool and a felt weel of about 3/4 to 1 inch at high speed. I put the razor on a piece of granet or other flat stone to use as a heat sink. I work both ways (length and across the blade) and it is some amazing stuff...it has replaced all my clay like compounds and then I use the Maas with the same little felt wheels for a final. be carefull not to let the blade rise above the granet or you might get the razor in the face or neck.
Before all this I use sandpaper cut in small disks of about 1 inch in diameter that I cut with a circle cutter for paper (I get these from hobby lobby) I back these with thicker sandpaper disks to give it some rigidity .
Pm me or email for furtheer help...

Ps:
from yur picture you will use the 8K gritt diamond and you will probably get your intended results...you are close...the dremem tool with felt wheels is the trick...just don't get too much heat
