thanks you all folks for the help and the responses!, forgot to give you my current progression for background...
currenty i have:
1x norton combo 220/1k
1x Norton combo 4K/8k
1x naniwa SS 12k
and my progression is (unless i really need th 1k for a nick or something): Norton 4K -> Norton 8K -> Naniwa SS 12K and then stropping on cotton with CrOx, then 100% linen hose strop, then latigo leather adn then a finer leather (soon to be Kangoroo).
Despite I've only started hoing / shaving with SRs about 3 months, i feel like I'm happy enough with the edges i'm producing and my shaves have improved a LOT since the first ones... but i know there's still a lot of room to improve...
now, like said, i'm thinking on starting saving my pennies on the piggy bank for this.. (this was a literal meaning) i'll separate like.. 10-15$ a month to buy (eventually) my next hone.. so i'm months away from putting the order, but i think it¿s better for saving w2hen you know what you want to buy with the money you're saving
the next 8 months or so(My bday is in august) i still have to keep working on improving my honing skills (yeah i know i have a long road to walk), and honing more razors of the ones I've purchased for learning restore/improve in ebay...
but i asked on the best spirit of starting to think what i want to do when i'm a big guy like y'all
then, i thought.. well maybe i save time in some stropping with CrOx and can put an edge for saving straight from the stone if i add a SG20k aftr my Naniwa SS12k...
i know, you can get to shave after the Naniwa directly (now crox) but maybe it's just that i'm not there yet in the required skillsethoning my mind...
