I got a couple of older razors from an antique store to learn honing on. The blades are dulll but otherwise ok, with no corrosion, chips or anything that will require a major restoration.
I have been reading Joel's favorable impressions of the D8EE. Would that be sufficient to hone these, followed by stropping on paste, or do I need to start off with a lower grit like 4k or lower?
