    Jason, I think I loaned you an Arashiyama 1k at one point. I consider that to be another good 1k--way better than the Norton 1k.

    Does the 1k matter? Yes. I consider everything in the bevel setting range to be the most critical part of the honing. That's where you create the edge.

    If you only are honing only a few razors, just a barber hone is sufficient. If you are considering a full set of hones, then the Naniwa Chosera (now professional) hone is worth the investment.
