Thread: Bevel setter upgrade

Hi guys,

I'm currently using a Naniwa 1/3k combination stone for bevel setting. This is the first stone I've bought. I liked the price point and I found it to be pretty good to learn on.
But ...
All the razors I have are vintage and in need of some touch up/restoration work. The nani 1/3k, while usable, doesn't really cut the mustard for me and I need a better bevel setting stone.

I know the Chosera/Professional 1k is the benchmark in bevel setting, but I don't think I can afford it right now.
Looking at alternatives (like the King 1k, Naniwa Traditional or SS 1k, Shapton pro, etc) I got less than a clear picture.

From what I've read, I'm inclined to go with the Shapton Pro(Ha No Kuromaku) 1.5k. What do you guys think?

Thanks!
