Hey all,
Have been bought two blades after constant pestering and one thing I am a we bit lost with is the honing stone.
First of all, I don't have one and I am wondering what one to get. I have been looking and doing some research and from what I have read I may need a 4000 and a 8000 grit stone, is this correct?

One of my blades is an old Bengall bought for about $12 which I will be testing on.
My other blade is a H. Boker of which I will admire until I gain experience.


So, I had my first shave with the Boker as is said 'shave ready' but I either had the angle wrong (probs) OR it wasn't as sharp as it needed to be. I did manage to shave with it, but not as close and was a slight tug. Nevertheless, I still continued and only had one tiny nick on my chin.

So apart from my babbling, I need to get a stone(s) can anyone pleeeease give me some advice on what ones to buy or even links of some cheap ones.

Man thanks,
Munster.
