Don't waste your time "practicing" on a razor that is now toast.

Handsanding is a bitch, but worth it for a razor that you will be able to use in the end.

As you also found out, there is no good "shortcut" to restoring a razor. Your original razor was really not very far gone at all. Some handsanding would have easily brought it back to top form.

Better luck next time!
