Well done scott ... told you it was easy once you got the hang of it 
... 1200 is ok for a razor edge .. just don't push hard... lightly brush over the top with your last passes and it won't be as aggresive ..... finish with the back of a belt ... don't really need paste . but most abrasive pastes work .. I've even heard of people using toothpaste ... I've used T Cut in the past .. I now just use extra fine pumice powder
