    Groeten,

    Maarten

    First, welcome to SRP and to straight shaving.
    You may not need to hone for a few months. You may want to consider getting a real cheapie razor to develop your honing technique. Another option is to just send your razors out every once in a while to get them honed.
    For razors that are shave ready and just need to be touched up every once in a while, I think the yellow coticule would be the way to go.

    The brush is actually a Balea they are sold by DM in Germany, witch is a large chemist chain over there.

    Hello Rene and welcome!

    I will first just say what stones I got: Norton 4/8k, a flatening stone (first i got the norton flattening stone but I will receive my DMT soon enough) and finnaly a chinese 12k. So I kept it relatively cheap.

    As for Nortons in europe, I only know of The store is temporarily closed for maintenance in sweden. But the price is really jucy, so I would recomend buying it from the US. Check out Howard at theperfectedge.com he has the best price, what I know on the norton and DMT. Be sure to get a flatening stone for the norton and the eventual polishing stone. I would recomend you ask Howard what he recomends for flattening the norton (and what ever polishing stone you get) of the DMT's.

    For the chinese 12k the best price i know of is this Buy Natural Polishing Water Stone, Water Stones - Woodcraft.com

    Hope it helps
