    For stuff from the bay and antiques stores, you'll need a lot more than a 8K & 12K stone. THose are where you start considering 1K stones for rapid removal of old, fatigued steel, and establishing a brand new bevel.

    For your current collection, like JMS states, 8K is probably all you'd need. The frequency would probably depend on how often the CrOx is used, and when the razor's bevel is seriously deteriorated from the V shape of a newly honed edge. If I recall correctly, the 8K is right around the point where sharpening & polishing transition.
