just learning to hone
Hello, I am still a newbie but I consider myself a quick learner and I am good with my hands, I would like to start honing my own razors but I am on a budget, can any of you pros please give me a starting point, I have the following items already:
Norton 4000/8000
I would like to achieve a very keen edge on my razors and I am going to woodcraft in the morning, I want to make a shopping list so please correct some items that I have:
Need:
Chinese 12k natural waterstone -($22.99)
Nagura stone - ($13.99)??? Do I need this or Diamond Honing Stone, 6", Extra Fine 1200 Grit ($48.99) I have read about creating slurry and need to know which method is preferred, or should i just buy 2 chineese 12k stones?
stone Holder - (18.99)
Flattening Stone - (27.99)
do I need any specific types of sandpaper to flatten my stones and any other advice would be useful in my quest. Thanks very much for your time, Roy
