Thread: Hone recommendations.

A hone is more than a number. It is a tool and what it can do is dependant upon the skill of its user. A Naniwa SuperStone/Specialty 12k can do anything from bevel setting to finishing in the right hands.

IF your razor's edge is more degraded, you might need to use either more strokes or more pressure, though the latter would be followed by lighter strokes.

My point is that if you only are looking to maintain previously sharpened razors, then the 12k should remain all that you should need.
