Just 1 hone for everything?
All I really want is to have a moderate but decent rotation of razors, and the mains to maintain my rotation effectively. I have done a few honings for people now, but I don't really have the time or enthusiasm to do this on a regular basis, or for a living.
I currently own the following hones:
1. Norton 4K/8K.
2. Norton flattening stone.
3. 6"x1.5" belgian yellow coticle.
If I'm not doing major restorations, or lots of honing for people. Do I really need a Norton 4K/8K or will the belgian yellow suffice?
Is a belgian yellow all I need to maintain my already decent razors indefinately, or do I really need the 4K/8K too?
If a belgian yellow is all I need, I'm considering selling my 4K/8K, flattening stone, and my small belgian yellow, and upgrading to just one stone - an 8"x3" belgian yellow. Good idea, or bad idea?
I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts! :)
