I've been "reading the mail" on you guys for a few days and this forum is great. My first post after having registered today.

I've recently begun to try to shape up my Dubl Duck Gold Edge that I laid down about 30 years ago and haven't picked up since. I've managed to clean up the edge pretty well with my Norton 4k/8k but I want to use something a little finer before hitting the strop. I've read the honing forums and was overwelmed by the choices of polishing stones and strop pastes available.

While I expect to add to my collection of stones in the near future, I am curious as to what the forum would recommend if I were to only have one stone/strop paste between the 8k and the leather.

Thanks in advance.
