When you get a new Norton it comes with a special case. This case can be used as a stone holder. It allows to place the stone on it and use it with comfort.

You can feel it with your hands. This is about both sides. Even 8 side feels a little grainy. You need whittle these grains away until it has a very smooth feeling before you use it.
We recommend using special Norton Flattening Stone for Waterstones for this purpose. It will help you to remove all the excessive grains and will prepare your hone.
Before you use any Waterstone you need to soak it in water for about 15 minutes. All you need for this is a deep glass with still water. Put the stone in this glass and let it stay there for minutes. It will absorb some the water and will be ready. They think that there must be special angle between the blade and stone surface.
But the secret is that no special angle is required. This is the best angle. The image below shows this perfect position:. Pay attention: this position must be unchanged during the whole honing process!!! Place Norton stone on the box and water it with sprayer. This water will make honing process easier. Use side for this purpose. They already have a pretty nice bevel and this step is not required.
If you want to set a bevel you need to perform 40 circular motions for both sides of the blade. Use pressure. There is one thing you should always remember: the blade must lay perfectly flat on the stone!
If you do everything right you will see metal particles after several motions. After you finish with circular motions make simple strokes. Move the blade towards the edge and keep it flat. You will have to repeat above steps couple of times in order to set perfect bevel.
Some razors require only one repeat while others may need two sessions of honing. Honing routine is very similar to setting bevel. But now you must move from low grit and medium pressure to high grit and no pressure at all.
These 3 steps will make your blade shave ready. You can go to your bathroom and give it a try. Stropping will prepare it for shaving. If you want to make the edge perfect you need to use finishing stone. Make strokes on Naniwa 12K without pressure and your blade will become extremely sharp.
