Thanked: 315Got my Glass Stones. Wow, those feel a LOT different. I'll need to keep a spray bottle handy since they need more water added to them.
Started one razor at 4k and it did seem to cut faster than I was used to.- Joshua

I would disagree with that WRT to naturals. If you’re a noob maybe you can’t tell the difference. I would agree that the difference is subtle, but it’s there, and proven.
Go to the ‘badger’ forum and look up the ‘Thrilla in Manilla (envelope)’ showdown between Seraphim and Doc226, film vs JNat.My doorstop is a Nakayama

Thanked: 315Well, the Shapton 1k certainly seems faster than my Norton. Had to rehone a razor that I dinged the edge on and got the bevel reset quicker than I expected.

Thanked: 49Everything, everything gets 1.5 Kuramaku, 3,5 and 8k Naniwa before going to naturals regardless of what natural is used.
It is the perfect jumping off point IMO.
The only synthetic I have to finish on now is a Gokumyo but rarely gets used. Some great Barber hones as well if I feel the urge.

I agree that the 8k is a nice jumping-off point. I will go to the 10k sometimes just to be sure I've worked all the stria down to a very minimum.
It's just Sharpening, right?
