    Sigma power 400 for real heavy work
    1k Chosera for bevel set when no major repair is needed.
    I have a nice Aizu that also works well but the chosera sees most work.

    I use a King 1K but it can take a little longer with blades that need a bit more work than usual, I have been thinking of getting myself a 400 Naniwa super stone so I can just save myself some time and effort on some blades that need a bit more work.

    I love my SS 400 for lapping hard naturals without leaving scratches.
    As a work-horse for honing, it's awfully soft and will dish quickly, thus needing frequent lapping and wearing fast.
    If you'd only use it infrequently, it's probably no big deal. If you'll be doing a lot of razors, you may want to look for something harder.

    I only have one, a cretan (natural). It works well enough with it's designated slurry stone, but for lower grit edge restoration I slurry with wet and dry sandpaper. Fast and pretty, although sadly I don't have a picture of it ATM.

    Here are two, one oiled and one used as whetstone.I'm kind of in a business trip now, but I carry a few with me just in case. Name:  PA160083.jpg

    Exactly like the right one, only slighty thinner. Works like a charm, and the slurry breaks down so it actually gets finer as you go along, although mine is pretty fast.

    The right one is 7cm thick Yes, I know. It starts as coarse, 600-800, and it gets finer than the stone surface itself.

    I am one of those boring Chosera 1k guys too

    I sold everything else, the only 1k I need is the Chosera. If I need more, I use diamonds, but most of the time I use some slurry on the Cho and take my time.

    I have a few that I have used as bevel-setters.
    Some mre than others

    Shapton pro 220 and 1000 Grit
    DMT 325, 600 and 1200 Grit
    Naniwa Chosera 400, 600, 800 and 1000.
    Naniwa Super Stone 1000 and 2000
    Suehiro Gokumyo Debado 400

    I tend to use the Chosera 1000 the most, but the Suehiro and the Shapton pro 220 sees quite a bit of work on the ones in real need of some metal removal.
    The DMT's are basically useless to me, way to scritchy feeling. I won't even use them on regular knives anymore
