So would soft white arknsas equate to @ 8K grit according to the chart? I ask because I have a Col. Ichabod Conk. labelled, "Surgical Arkansas" & wondering what the grit level was?

I've heard, or rather read, that Lynn hasn't had much luck with arkansas stones. That was enough for me to not be interested in them when it comes to razors. Just pick up some waterstones, nani's, or shaptons...

What I recommend is getting the three stone naniwa set from SRD and forgetting about all of the rest.

I was just looking at those. I think they are 10-12K (?) whereas the soft/hard whites are < 8K. Another user posted a link to them here: Best Sharpening Stones
