A good barber hone is meant to refresh a razor that needs a quick touch up. When I got started I used a Swaty as a finisher following the 8k because that was all that I had. Once I got a high grit finisher I used it. The 12k is 8" long and the average barber hone is 4". The barber hone will do if that is all that you have ..... and you get a 'good' one but if I could only have one or the other I would pick the 12k without hesitation. Just IMHO.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
