Congratulations!
Those Japanese framebacks look awesome.
I have honed a couple of framebacks and, since they are infinitely hollow, they take an edge very quickly.
The frame sets the angle for honing, and I tape it for the bevel set just to protect it.
Setting the bevel is a very quick process with such a narrow blade, and if the steel is good they can acquire a ridiculously sharp edge.
I finished my J A Hellberg frameback with 0.05u lapping film, and it gives one of the best shaves I've ever had.
And they certainly feel different in the hand and on the face, like a very beautiful and kind shavette only much much better.
