New Hones
I accidently purchased, from SRD, A Naniwa Chosera 1k, and a Nani combo 3/8k. I already have the Nani 12k. So off we go...

Does anyone think I need another stone, between the 3/8k? Or the 8/12k?
Popular consensus seems to be that bevel setting is most important on the Chosera, and the rest is polishing the bevel. So it would seem the 3/8/12k would be a decent progression. I have a usb microscope (kinda crappy, but if you get it focussed, it'll show you a bevel) and a 60x loupe so that I can monitor the condition of the bevel. I also have several cheap razors that I have aquired lately to practice on...

Some would say you always need another stone.
technically in that range you have what you need. The question is do you maybe want something better or different?No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

No, from all the reading I've done, the Nani's have a good reputation for repeatable results. So I thought the fewer stones, the less likely I am to make a mess of a perfectly good razor.
Mostly I just want to keep it simple for now.Smarter than I look or, not as dumb as I look. Whichever you prefer.

3 to 8 and 8 to 12 is fine.
How did you "accidentally" purchase the hones?

You sound like you are in the same place as me, with the same stones even! I asked the same question not too long ago, here is the thread. Happy honing
