Thread: Confirmation on hones

I have a Norton 4k/8k. From what I have learned you can do everything you need to do with it and some chromium oxide strop paste. You can even set a bevel on the 4k side. You can use this hone every time you hone for the rest of your life and have a great shave ready blade. Some people like to have a finishing stone just for that little bit extra but it is not a necessity, more of just a want. It will extend the period of time between honings a little bit too. If your financial situation allows you to get a finishing stone and not hurt, then go for it if you want, but you don't have to have it.
