I have read many posts and understand this has been asked in various forms; I hope my careful wording on this post can be useful for many.

I want a simple, minimal set up. (1 razor, 1 brush, 1 strop, 1 stone)

I will send my razor to Lynn for honing when necessary.

I want to have just 1 hone for "finishing/touching up/maintaining" the wonderful edge Lynn puts on the razor. (I will use it once a week or so)

I realize there is probably more than one answer....

I would like to avoid having to buy something to lap this stone...

Let me know what you guys think! I understand you can get a pre-lapped chinese 12k?

Lastly, thank you and happy new years!
