    Here's a review I did on the W4EE. It has both advantages and disadvantages vs the D8EE. Either way, you'll need to break the hone in first. The D8EE might be a bit easier to learn on for a new razor honer. It's surface area is 6 times greater than the W4EE and is about 2 to 3 times faster, honing-time-wise. DMT did make the 2" x 6" "D6EE", but that was a limited run and not currently available; to my knowledge. That one would be my top EE choice, if you could find one.

    Your 1u, 0.5u, and 0.25 choice looks fine to me, and the 0.5 Chromium Oxide is very popular. Some think the 0.25u can be a bit harsh, some love it. It's worth trying.

    Edit: If you can't locate any chromium oxide, PM me and I'll send enough for 2 or 3 applications.
