From all the information I've gathered it is beginning to confuse the hell out of me.
Could somebody explain what exactly I would need if I just want to maintain my razor and do touchup's after x amount of time when stropping no longer does the trick?
From what I can gather I would need a stone that is at least 8k or even preferably higher.
Do I need any of the lower stones or are those just if u really want to restore or set the edge the first time?
This is the main thing that confuses me... what stone do u need?
Hope somebody can clear this up for me. I've read the wiki and a bunch of articles but I just get more confused :)
Greetings,
Dirk
