Indeed, there are other things for midrange which can take up an entire shelf.
Began on barber hones and went to the Nortons. The 1k is long donated to a newer guy and a faster Chosera installed.
After sampling other things, I have stuck with it. Virtually no maintenance. It lives in the water.
Hey! It works!

I’ve been thinking about replacing my 1k diamond plate with a 1k water stone and reserving the diamond plate for flattening and burnishing the other stones. Any suggestions?

The 1k green Chosera and a 600 Naniwa slurry stone (for the big jobs) is tough to beat, IMO.

I've had quite a few razors in this week although I have only managed to snap these 3, one of them was a very interesting Sheffield Rogers stubtail one hefty wedge of a blade in for honing plus change of scales.

On the hones for Saturday, a brand new Dovo Bismark straight from a retailer with factory edge in need of honing.

Found a shapton 8000 professional stone for 60$ on the bay. Sold my naniwa 8k (I had thin version/wanted thicker 8k) so saw this as good chance to try out shapton stone. Took my dubl duck (had jnat edge) to 5k naniwa/ 8k shapton / then went to 12k naniwa. Might replace my 5k naniwa with shapton, but keeping chosera 1k and naniwa 12k. 8k shapton very nice to use, glad I grabbed it.
