    I was given this stone but have no idea on the grit

    Probably closer to 400/800 if its like this
    Crystolon Bench JB6 -Coarse/Fine

    looking at this it may even be 120/320

    barber hone is only for maintaining an already sharp edge
    I could send you one if you would help with shipping
    Or i may suggest the sharpening setup that works best for me

    Well i recently got a 125x30mm coticule
    As i already have naniwa 1-3-8-12k i found an easy way to use it
    I use the 1k to set the bevel(wich you do not need on a slightly dulling razor)
    Then i skipped to the taped stage of unicut(step 5)
    Unicot honing method - home of the famous Belgian Coticule Whetstone


    this has given me the best results i have got so far
    Oh yes i use a small stone and i find that easyer then big bench stones

    I would not get a shorter stone but i have used narrower just fine
