Hello all,

I've recently got back into playing with my straight razors after a long break, as I'm doing a light restore for a friend and am wanting to get the best possible edge for his first straight shave experience.

I have a norton 4/8k and a vintage thuringian stone (very small) I bough off Neil Miller several years back which didn't come with a rubbing stone, it is fairly dark in colour. I was wondering what would be the best way to raise a slurry on it? and do I need to? Can I use my DMT 325 or would that be too coarse? would it be better to use another small thuringian stone on it? If so where can I get a rubbing stone, I am based in the UK.

Many thanks
