    You should be able to set a bevel on your 4k Norton.

    Generally, if it's just a bevel set, I'll use a Norton 1k. If there are nicks/chips, maybe a 800 Norton.

    With a brand new TI all you should need is your 4K Norton to set the bevel. I use a 1K Nani for vintage razors with very bad edges, chipped, pitted and the like. There is no way a new TI should be in that bad a shape to need a 1K hone to set the bevel. OTH a 1K Nani will get you there faster.
