Thanks guys! So much to learn but I'm learnin lots!!
Noah,
I carry the Nortons and the Belgians and for those who want to get in cheap but with quality, try a coticule bout for $55. They're long enough for straight razors and are an excellent grade coticule. I sell a lot of them to luthiers who use them on their little knives, gouges, and chisels. The bout is irregularly shaped because the belgians run a family quarry and don't throw away gradable stone just because it doesn't fit a rectangular form factor. It's also a cool conversation piece to have on your bench.
