Thread: need budget hone help

Dont for get the whole important lapping of whatever hone you get!!!..... I just picked up a DMT 325 I love that thing for hone lapping totally beats the whole 325 wet/dry sandpaper bit. So now my honing set up is the DMT325, Norton 1000, Norton 4000, Norton 8000 and Naniwa 12,000. I have to say the 4000 and 8000 did great buuuut HAD took over and I can see it will only get worse

That sounds like a good offer. I inherited a sr and happened to have all the honing equipment I needed already. I still found it advantageous to get a used shave ready razor from a reputable seller to give me an idea of what shave ready really means. I got a good deal on the razor or else I would have just sent mine out for honing.

I got in pretty cheap because I already had the honing stones and a flattening stone. I did purchase a strop. The Norton stones are good stones, but like other water stones, you do have to keep them flat.

You made the offer yesterday.

Deleted my horses butt comment...sorry guys.

You only need these 2 hones : Norton 220/1k , and a Norton 4k/8k . With these 2 hones , you can restore any razor that isn't too far gone .
