After all I bought this set: DMT 325 for lapping, DMT 1200 for bevels, Norton 4k/8k, Naniwa 12k. After reading a lot on the forum, I think I won't be disappointed

Good, proven setup! Make sure you break in both DMTs--especially the 1200. When you come off of it, try this trick to reduce the scratch pattern that your 4K has to deal with: do about 5 figure-8s (w/ your 325) on the 8k side, leave the slurry on the stone & do 10 light x-strokes. Then rinse your Norton & razor & proceed to the 4k as usual.

Would love to try some of the different stones out there, but all I've ever used is Norton 220/1000 & 4000/8000. It has kept all my razors extremely sharp with very smooth edges. I'm a Norton fan all the way, but like I said, they are all I've ever used/owned. And like some of the other guys said, master what you've got before buying something else. Everyone has their preferences. I will try different stones in the future, but for now my Norton's are just fine. Good Luck on your decision what ever it may be, and stick with it till you get it down. JMHO
Oh and a Norton lapping stone also came with this set, It was lapped with a DMT 325 by a friend
here is where I got mine, and MODS if this link is out of place, please take it off.
