    Like the other fellows said, the Norton Crystolon/Medium India would be good for bevel setting - that is, for initial sharpening. The Arkansas stone looks to be a "hard" white. If so you'd be able to get a quite acceptable edge with it. Follow it with a pasted or linen strop and then a leather strop, and you would have all you need to maintain your razor.

    If you want to go for an ultra-smooth shave, then there are a host of really nice "finishing" hones that would be just the ticket. (Not to mention being a lot of fun to play with.)

    Cheers,
    Jeff
