That's a great kit for us beginners who feel it necessary to ignore others who've gone before us suggesting we take it slow and easy. I've been using it taking razors with chips in the edge to a finished, shave-ready product. I'm still learning, though, as I just proved last night spending 1.5 hours on a 4/8ths Fredrick Reynolds with a curved toe. I never did get it beyond state-fair, semi-dull, sharp.

I have put my best edge on a Henkel finishing with just the 8k and it's my best shaver (short of a dublduck Lynn honed for me.). I wouldn't rush into a 12k. But then again, I am a newbie.
