After the oil or waterstone, be sure to strop the edge with a leather strop and compound. It's relatively cheap, and gives you a razor sharp tool with a mirror polish. Helps keep the egde longer too. If you can't find a leather strop and compound (Check art supply stores, or cutlery stores), get them on the web.

Highlandhardware.com is a good place to start.
