Thanks !
Yes it is early to buy... it is ok to shop.

If you have shave ready razors you can skip the 220/1000
for a long time.

A 4k/8k or 3k/8k combo hone is always a good investment.
There are some that will tell you that a Norton 4k/8k hone
and a DMT to keep the sides flat is all that you will ever need.

A lot of us are well pleased by something like a Naniwa Super Stone 12k hone
to refresh our shavers.
