    Honestly, for simply maintenance, you can chose almost any direction you want to go, most any of the Natural Finishers or any Synthetics at 8k or above will maintain a comfortable shaving edge for your lifetime..

    Bang for the Buck I guess is what it comes down to for your choice being in the UK changes your choices too, those 3 stone sets of Welsh slates might be a very good option for you too since the shipping is next to nothing for you ...

    Warning: Where that thinking gets sidelined is your first E-bay/Antique store purchase
