my 4K/8K hone when a shaver needs a refresh in
the normal shaving process.
If you own a DMT 8K then the Nani 12k Superstone
should make a fine addition.
I remind myself to always note that mixing hones from different
vendors is a risk. The different global standards are such that
you can get a new hone and find that it does not fit in the
sequence where you expect. Naturals are an adventure.
If I had to start over I would get a set of Naniwa Super Stone hones
and an (extra) coarse DMT to lap them (gently).
If I was to win the lottery I would own a full set of Shapton GlassStone
hones. As best I can tell from reading, the Shapton hones
are numbered and made just differently enough so folk that try to
stick one in their progression often get the wrong hone or it feels
odd. As a set they are reported to be top of the line.
