What grid of stones would you recommend, in order to get a cheap razor to shave ready?

Personally I have and will continue to maintain that until you can get a CCC shave (Clean-Close-Comfortable) shave off of an 8K hone your pouring money down a rat hole by buying a finer grit hone.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If I were to drop and break my Naniwa 12, or any of my other finishing hones and didn't have the funds to replace them I could live off of my Norton 8K edge for the rest of my life. However if I were to drop and break that Norton--I'd eat peanut butter sandwiches 3 times a day while I saved up the funds for a new one. And that the truth!
