    THe norton 4k/8k combo is a beautiful hone for razors. Yes they need lapping, but any hone you get you will want to lap. I don't think you need to lap them every use either, that is a bit overboard.

    Yeah i suppose. there are videos online of the norton where the person's 4k side is 1mm thick!

    Would cheaper chinese carbon straights like this or a Kreigar do for practicing sharpening? or would there be no point experimenting with a cheaper blade? basically $15 convexed straights.
