I would also recommend the Naniwa Super Stones 5K and 8K in lieu of the Norton or The Shapton 4K, 8K and 16K glass stones (These are a little more expensive). You can play around with either .5 diamond paste or spray or Chromium Oxide following the finishing stones as well.

Good Luck,

Wow that's nearly my exact setup. Although, it's like giving a Ferrari (well, not compared to most on here, but it's just an analogy) to someone who can't drive stick or get out of 2nd gear but I'm working on it.

Chosera 1k
Norton 4/8
Naniwa 12k (When I first used it I said "I wouldn't trade this stone for anything ")
Chinese 15K (just got it Saturday, and said "THIS is the Stone I wouldn't trade for anything.")

My "Plan" (if you can call what goes through my [lack of] 'Razor Mind' a 'plan') for the 15k was to keep it 'SinkSide' - so to speak - for frequent touch up.
