Thanked: 4824There are more variables than just the grit jump. What might be an easy transition for an old hand may be a difficult jump for a beginner. If you have some experience and a good loupe you can try it and see if you need something in the middle. I have not gotten a full progression with Naniwa. Currently I have a Naniwa Chosera 1K and a Norton 4/8 and then a variety of finishers. You don't have to stick with t.he same brand all the way through, but that 1K I have is a beauty and as far as I am concerned the bevel setter is the most important of all of the hones.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

Thanked: 133try out the 5k to 12k and just see what you think. I would even maybe try adding a thin layer of clear tape after you do some passes on 12k to help refine the edge. Could have your razor finished on a 12k by someone who can take it through stones so you know what it should feel like. Also if you did get it honed by someone else you could go long time just using 12k to touch up stone I believe

5K to 12K no problem If you only need this for a few of your own razors then forget the 8K stone.
