Hi All,

I just joined the forum after watching Lynn's DVD. What a treat!

I got my first razor 2 weeks ago and yesterday I finally had my first "worth mentioning" shave. I'm still very proud. However, I was under the impression my razor is not cutting as it should, and after watching the DVD I realized why. I never honed it! So this prompted a couple of questions:

1. Are Norton waterstones 4000/8000 8x3''and belgian coticule stones suited for a beginner?

2. If 1) is yes, what's the average price for these stones and where can I buy it (US and UK) for a reasonable price?

Many thanks for any help!

Dinis
