Thread: Shapton 30k Usage

I'm currently using 1,2,4,8,16k Shapton GS hones,
followed by an 8x3" Nakayama. Usually I do 20-
30 stokes on the Nakayama and seldom more than
15 on the Shapton 16k. I don't finish with pastes
currently but I've used CrO before.

It's hard to see where this stone would fit, but I'm
eager to experiment

Scott, I don't want to be impertinent, but I can't help but ask... I thought you said you had cut down to only one razor, the SRP Livi? What for all the hones?
