Ooooooo
Assuming you have no hones
What I consider must have
1-4-8
The Shapton 16 is a finisher all on it's own
Many of us that use Shaptons really like the 2 we feel it adds something special to the edge
The 30 is just a whole lot of money and I rarely use it, the razor has to be able to handle that edge
Above is simply my opinion,
I use the 1-2-4-6-8-16-30 when I break out the Shaptons, I only use them now on razors that I know can handle the edge :p
I could shave comfortably for the rest of my days on just about any razor with the 1-4-8
you think i could go from an 8 to a 16 with nothing in-between? what about for knives too becuase i sharpen my knives as well
I have a 400g that you are welcome to try brighty. Should have quoted your post sorry, that's a 400 atoma.
Yes I know for a fact I can go from 8-16
I don't use my Razor hones for Knives
any reason in particular? is it bad?
I've been using the Atoma 400 and 1200 for about 6 months. These plates have made lapping a breeze.
Then I polish the stone surface with a well worn DMT 325.
