They're going to sell a T-ton of those.

I started with a Norton double combo kit, no wetbox and tri-holder. I'd gladly trade the flattening stone and 220 option back in on the box/holder.

In the longer run you'll (likely) wind up with a DMT that does the work of flattening as well as 220-grade stuff. And you'll buy a higher count finisher or natural.

But that the 8k edge shaved me fine whilst i was learning, and that was sans paste.
