YG Escher or YG Thuringian. More recently I have been finishing on a Greican hone which I had initially overlooked, and I have been getting some wonderful edges of it.

Y/G Escher, any of my JNats, 10K Chosera, 13K Sigma or a 20K Gokumyo.

escher or jnat or thuringian depends on the razor i will try all three at frist shaveing right off the stone and go with the one that feels the best after that i strop on a strop treated with linde A and finish on a well used tony miller.

I have a few hones over 8k and they are all naturals. The harder the razor's steel is the harder the 'finisher' I use. If the finisher starts to create a slurry the hone is not hard enough for the razor.
