Thread: Do I need a specific type of whetstone to hone my razor?

As it seems that you have played around with the edge enough to start again from scratch, I agree with gssixgun's suggestion to start out with a King 1k/6k to rewrite things. Personally, I prefer the Suehiro 1k/6k combo to the King combo, but both will get the job done. There is also the Imanishi 1k/6k combo, but I've not tried this. As you are in Honduras, you may have access to the Suehiro, which is a bit difficult to obtain here in the USA, but my sense is that any of these three will get you there at the starting out, grunt level. Beyond this, I would suggest a Solingen-made, hanging linen strop, one side pasted with the Solingen red paste tube and the other with the Solingen white tube paste. Off the 6k, ~8-10 laps on the red pasted linen will get you there at the start prior to leather, with occasional ~30 laps on the white-pasted side as needed later for touch-ups before leather, all of this being predicated on the assumption that your game has been right on the 1k/6k beforehand. Good luck.
