Once you touch that stone, you are not touching up a blade anymore, but will need to do a lot more after. Maybe the pastes will do the job, but then why not try a natural stone that starts at 5-6k and forget about the pastes? To me, it's a much simpler and cleaner solution. Coticule of the Ardennes comes to mind..

We have some great options in Europe, when it comes to natural stones. I can tell you a whole lot about them, if you're interested, but I feel that isn't really a topic here. However if you're growing to like this, like you say you do, I feel the european naturals will soon become very interesting. There's also a bunch of great barber hones, like RezDog mentioned.
Thanks for the replay.

I donīt care about the strop it just came with the hone. The also offered me natural stone. Can a natural stone be comparable to a 12k Naniwa for what I need?
