First of all ,thanks to Arne for very helpful advice in buying my very first Swedish razor. Just ordered from Ebay.
I hear Swedish steel is quite hard. So am asking for advice on honing.
It is NOS, so I am assuming I don't have to worry about the lower ends of honing and can go straight to finishing.
I mean I don't plan to set the bevel or use 4k or 8k or even my Nani 12k. I plan to go straight to my pasted balsa, .5u, .25u, .1u. Probably a large number of laps the first time.
Thoughts and ideas appreciated.
