Do you know what grit is the stone that you have?
If it's a low grit, it will set the bevel but won't be smooth. If it's a higher grit, it will set a smooth edge/finish. However, if the bevel is not set properly, you will probably do countless laps...
I maintain that you should send it to a honemeister, it doesn't cost that much and you will have the assurance of a shave ready straight.
Once you send a blade to a honemeister, will it need to be resent and resent to him? Or, once the blade is properly set and sharpened, is stropping enough to maintain the edge?
