Are you getting really good shaves yet? Might want to learn one thing well them
N move on,, but if you must really all you need is a 12k to start and learn to maintain your edges, if done properly you may never need to see a lower stone. I gave razors that have a hundred or so shaves with nothing but 2-4 laps on a 12k once in a while and stropping, to be honest if all you do that s shave I St see how all these guys are honing all the time unless they have some messed up edges, once their honed right it last until you really do something silly. After you have mastered the 12k you will have a great understanding of what your edge should be then take on something really bad. But to each his own, I got a lot of money in hones and I never have to use them, after sending them out to be honed they don't need it anymore. Work your way backwards, 1st the 12k. Then a decent 3/8 combo, then a good bevel setter. Tc
