Thread: Down the rabbit hole we go

I send my razors to a very good honemeister here in the UK for honing. This is my first foray into hones and honing and I'm mainly trying it out as I'm not at work just now so hoping it will keep me occupied, which I pretty sure it will! I got the Shapton and the 2 Gouken stones on a lot from a facebook group along with other stones, holders, a cheap lapping plate and some practice razors for what seemed like a very reasonable price to me (I have no idea what these Gouken stones are like nor the others that came with the lot, they seem to be cheap naturals?) I'm still waiting on my Naniwa 3000, 5000 and 10000 coming and then I can start the learning process 😳😳😳

I plan on using the usual Naniwa progression of 1000 for bevel setting then 3000, 5000, 8000, 10000 and finishing on the 12000. Seems to be the most relevant route for a complete novice like me to take after reading on here and watching GSSixgun and Lynns videos a lot.
