    CHosera 1,3, then Tsushima black nagura on Tsushima black awasedo, then dump the broken slurry on a nakayama maruichi to finish on.

    Shapton 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 30k
    Or Shaptons 1 to 8k then ZG, Jnat, Coticule, or Escher - the ZG is my current favorite but took me a week or two to maximize.

    Sometimes I will do some balsa stropping with CrO, 0.25 diamond, 0.125 CBN etc.

    I usually go Shapton 1k or 2k, 8k, 12k. Then Suehiro 20k. A layer of tape and lapped-flat Spyderco UF bench stone for touch-up later.

    Soft ark, hard ark and then trans (for a razor that needs a bevel to be set) and then if the trans doesn't give the finish desired, pick your finisher of choice and follow with linen and leather.

    Some of the old razor washitas are interesting to follow a soft ark with (the soft ark being a very fast cutting stone that doesn't seem to do too much edge damage and that is easy to follow up because it doesn't make narrow deep grooves). The old razor washitas don't give a great edge on a first shave, but after taking the razor to linen and leather, you can go back to the washita and take a very few razor weight only strokes and re linen and leather and suddenly have an edge that feels an awful lot like a very fine finisher.

    Almost got my set that will be of Naniwa Super Stones 1k, 5k, Snow White 8 and 12 Super Stone. Just got and Atoma 600 and 1200 for lapping. Also use 0.25 diamond in my modular strop for refreshing.

    I know were to buy the Sharpton 30 in Europe, but the Suehiro or the Zulu Grey I have no idea could you guys tell me ?

    Suehiros come from tools from japan. I dont know if there is another source or if he even ships to europe, but thats where most everyone I know has gotten theirs.

    Those prices plus customs rates make them too expensive. I think I got to stick to the diamond 0.25 finish.
