what do I really need ? Where should I go ?
I currently have a Norton 1k / 4k combo stone. A 5k and 8 k Chinese stones ordered from Poland ,and a 12 k Chinese stone. I can shave off these stones and am fairly happy with my cheap stones. What can I do to step it up a notch and improve my honing at a reasonable cost? I want a sharper and smoother edge. I've got a good edge but I'm still not as good as a razor honed by the professionals ( Larry, Glenn or Lynn) Thanks your input will be greatly appreciated.
