Thanks for help I am working my way through these Kindest regards Dovahkin

Many have learned on the Norton 4/8k, myself included. The 8k side can yield great shaves after some practice. Sometimes I will finish using the 8k just to see how my honing has improved.. Then of course go on to better finishers after I get an 8k test shave. I like seeing what all my stones can do, the only down side to this is that my whiskers don't grow fast enough! That also means that it can take me a week to finally get to the final finishers and call my edge good for a while. haha. Its a fun ride, enjoy it! What helped my honing improve the most was sitting down a couple of afternoons with some of the pros in my area, might check to see if there is anyone in your area willing to lend a hand and even try some other stones!
