I've been pretty happy with the travel set-up I've been using for the past three months, ranging from restoring razors with visible chips to daily stropping with the occasional touch-up: 6" x 2" DMT coarse whetstone (lapping); 6" x 2" DMT fine whetstone (visible chips, very rare slurry generation); 135mm x 40mm Suehiro 1k/3k synth combo (bevel-setting double whammy); no. 6 BBW/coticule natural combo ("nouvelle veine"); 130mm x 35mm AJ Welsh purple slate; 200mm x 40mm Herold red-pasted, scored balsa/oiled Russian leather paddle strop.

So right now, I'm not really using anything else.
Nice. I'm really enjoying my little handheld Ocean Blue 12k for travel. Just moved it into the shaving den recently for quick touch-ups when I'm not traveling. But I do have one question. How do you set a bevel on such little handheld stones?
Seems like it would be much easier and reliable to set a bevel on a bench stone, no?
