When honing a straight razor should the spine of the razor be touching the stone?

In most cases, yes. If the bevel of the edge is correct, the spine will need to be touching the stone to keep it that way as you hone. If you wish to avoid damage to delicate spine work you can "tape" the spine by using electrical tape. If you choose to do this, you probably want to tape the spine each time you hone said blade so that you maintain the correct bevel.

How do you get paint off your mirror?
If you are removing drips, it is fairly straight forward. Most hardware stores carry a little something called a paint scraper. It is a metal (or plastic) handle with a single edged razor in it. Gently slide the blade (at a flat angle) along the surface of the glass of the mirror and scrape of the drips.If you have completely covered the mirror with chalkboard paint, my suggestion is to buy another mirror. The time, effort, and frustration of removing that much paint is not worth what it will cost for the mirror.
