I don't currently hone my own razors but I'd like to start as soon as possible and I already have a Norton 1k/4K that I got for free as it has seen better days (will need flattened).

I want a polisher and finisher and I tend to always want to buy top notch stuff so I don't have to spend the extra money in the future to upgrade.

Being that I have the bevel setter, I was thinking of getting two Shaptons, one in the 6-8K range then a finisher in the 12k+ range. I'm not all too familiar with this and I'll learn as I go but does this sound right? I don't assume I can go to a coticule after the 4k but that is also an option for my finisher.

Please give opinions on what works best for you, (my first thought was the Naniwa package on SRD but the 5k in the pack seems redundant and saving a few bucks doesn't really matter in the long run (I wish they offered something similar in Shapton))
