Been honing with a Norton 1k, 4k/8k progression for about a month and can get a good (to me) edge. Bought an ebay guanxxi stone for the heck of it.
Flattened it with my DMT8, then polished with 600, 800 and 1000 wet/dry on the back of the DMT.
Did a 4K/8K progression on the Norton, then about 100 x-strokes on the cnat. Finished with 10 laps each on crox/Fe2O3 balsa. I was very happy with the shave. About 1 pass closer than before with less burn on the Alum block.
Any other tips or suggestions that a noob like me could try?
