    My vote is also for the Naniwa 12k. You won't be disappointed with that choice. The Naniwas shine as razor hones.

    Yeah, only reason to go with the 10K over the 12K would be if your razor, your technique, or your face just can't cope with the edge the 12K provides. My skin's a bit sensitive so I prefer a softer natural edge to a super keen synthetic one. But I don't think the 12K would cause that problem considering the wide range of people that can shave off the 12K comfortably. I've only seen a very few that have tried both, and prefer the 10K over the 12K. If you get into honing and razor stones, you'll find there's quite a bit of variety and a lot you can do to tailor the edge to your liking.
