A Chinese PHIG very good price, and the right one can do exactly what you want..

Any Synthetic 8k-10k hone because they work better at what you want to do than a true finisher...

A good quality Thuringen because when used for this they give a buttery smooth edge..

The good quality Coticule they are very good for this, but watch the hype on these stones..

A good quality Japanese polishing stone not a finisher, much harder to find though...


Keep in mind any of these other then the barber's hone require practice and have a learning curve, beside the waste of money trying to find the right one with the naturals...

Add to this that you can also refresh a razor with just a few strokes (usually around 10 with no pressure) on Chromium Oxide or .5 diamond something on the back of your linen or leather strop. Many times, you can keep your razor going for a long time before ever going to a finishing hone for refreshing.
