Thread: HELP choosing honing system

Hi all
Thanks all , for the advice . I have the will to stay with straight razor shaving . I enjoy sharpening knives , broadheads , ETC . I have more sharpening stones already , but nothing I would consider using on a straight razor. I was looking to spend about 1100.00 on the Shapton stones , I also was looking at the stones on Lynn's site but notice that the finer grits are sold out . I liked the looks of the stone he suggested .
Thanks Scott

Keep in mind that the huge money in the Shapton set are in two things that are not necessary, the 30k and the GDLP
You don't have to have either of them....

The Naniwa Super stones would also be a great choice... I have been using the 1k at Lynn's suggestion and will most likely be adding the rest of the set soon enough......

That means that I will have a set of Norton's, Shapton's, Naniwa's and a Blue /Yellow combo stone.... oh and lets not forget the DMT 325 for lapping some Barber's hones and other naturals I have.....

See some of us just have way to many hones....


I would go either Shapton or Naniwa, my 2 cents have been spent have fun choosing hehehe
