    Your question about hones is natural. The answer as with most things is that it depends. The Norton 4/8K is very versatile but it may not be the best hone if you just want to keep the final polish on your razor in great shape. For this, I would recommend something more like a Belgian yellow coticule.

    BTW, welcome to the ranks of the addicted.

    I might suggest a cheap razor to practice on also.
    You make a mistake - no loss.
    You get it shave ready - ya got another razor in the rotation.
