    I'm a naniwa guy. You can pick and choose from the 1k Chosera through half a dozen or more superstones and be happy at the 12k level. I think money can be saved, by old fashioned progressions. say 1k Chosera 3k Superstone, 8k superstone, then straight to the Suehiro Gokumyo 20k. The Gok 20 edge is repeatable and exceptional and worth the money. Another benefit to the Gok 20 is that it is hard to over hone on it, and if you have a worry three or four edge trailing strokes sort that out.

    Oh no, you by passed the Shapton stone holder...
    That's my most favorite glass plastic thing in the whole world

    The gs stones are just awesome. If I were forced to go synth I would get a full progression of them
