Thread: So I broke down

I got a Naniwa 1k SS, a 3/8k combo, a 5k, and a 13k. HAD. what can I say. I quess the 16k next.

Welcome to HAD. Nice move on the hones but no reason to explain yourself to this merry band of acquisition disorder wet shavers! : )

Untill there are a bunch of naturals on your bench, the HAD is incomplete

They are not natural stones, but in all seriousness you have all you need to hone a razor to a nice edge.

What are the naturals? maybe I should get a cotucule and an arkansas! I love my Nortons and I know thats all I really need, but I WANT!

I would add something like 8000 before 16000 and then as collegues here already suggested with addidition of your own home made hones.

Easy part is purchasing them, you now have to invest time to learn them. If you don't, you disgrace the stone and it will haunt your edges.

And your face.

coticules are very great. but like others have said, purchasing is the very easy part. each coticule is very unique and has its own learning curve in my eyes.
