Just remember depending on what you're using that knife for you might not want an edge that fine. Plus the angle you usually sharpen a knife at is a bit different from the angle a good shaving razor's sharpened at.

RogueGypsy told you pretty much everything you need to know but there is one nifty tip I learned from some straight razor fans that recycle old barbershop hones: Draw a grid on your block and then sand that against some sandpaper on a mirror (or other really flat surface). Lets you see whether your working surface really is flat or not.
