So shaptons, coticules, Nortons and Naniwas seem to be the preferred options and my understanding is that there is no shortcut for the wallet when it comes to razor hones. I'll have to wait to get any of those in decent size (there are cheap coticules but they're tiiiiiiny)
Dan's Novaculite stones are appealing, anybody else have experience with those? Not for finishing but for bevel setting and edge prep before Naniwa 12k.
Again thanks everyone for chiming in.
