Matching hones to razors. Certain brands work better with certain hones?
I saw in another thread that when it comes to razors made by Case...Glen prefers using the shapton glass hones up to 30k because the steel can handle the edge.
Have you found any other combinations that work particularly well? I've learned, for example, that when finishing big sheffield wedges...I get better results with my CF than with my eschers.
Any combos that you've found work particularly well?

I have preferences in hones for my various razors.
Razors in the harder end of the spectrum, like some American and Japanese products, seems to get the best edges from my JNats.
The softer steels, like my Sheffields seems to get wicked sharp from Eschers.
And a couple of the extremely hard steels seems to prefer the Charnley Forest or the Gokumyo 20K stone.
I've yet to come across steels that doesn't respond well to my Chosera's, so that's what I use for bevel setting, sharpening and polishing. Then it is on to one or more of the various finishers depending on what razor it is.
I'm sure others have other findingsBjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....
