Thread: Honing newb: What should I buy?

Hi everyone

I've been wetshaving for over a year now, but only about a month of actual straight shaving. I'm not about to get a hone soon, but I'd like to know what grit I should get. So far I'm attracted to a small coti, a Norton 4K/8K and a Naniwa 3K/8K.(Either one of them, not a combo.) I would like to own a coti(as I am Belgian), but I have very large hands and I think I would need a big coti(costing big money). As for the Norton and Naniwa, I don't know whether 8K is fine enough to take the razor to the strop and then my face. Or should I put pastes to my Poor man's strop when I buy a strop that's a little more suiting?

Thanks in advance for the advice!
