Everything else I start on the 1K or higher. I examine with a loupe and identify where I should begin.
For the average person honing razors, a 600 has no real place.
PS
I started on the Norton set and honed until they were getting fragile thin. Good hones but not as nice as a Chosera.
Thank you, it doesn't sound like a 600 would be worth the investment for me. Not yet anyway.

I like the idea of a Chosera/Naniwa progression but what with the Washita, Trans Ark and Diamond Plate I think I have spent enough on stones for now.

Talking of the Diamond Plate, the 400 side started rough but now it is surprisingly smooth, is it supposed to be like that, I can feel the grit with a blade but it is very smooth to the touch.
