Thread: Synthetic progression end result?

When I started this hobby I did about two months of research before buying any stones. I decided on the Shapton Glass series. I eventually bought the 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k, 16k, 30k. These serve as the foundation for my honing. From these I branched out to the naturals. Again, much research, I went with coticules, Arkansas True Hards (Hard Black, Translucent), Zulu Gray. Like a previous commenter said, it's what you finish on that's important. That all said, I also have a Belgian Blue Whetstone (BBW) I use from time to time for a mid-range stone and finisher. There are several good options for a honing progression. Get what you want, that appeals to you. No need for anyone to get dogmatic on this.
