What's your current progression?
It varies depending on the blade composition but the following is most common;
1K Chosera
Naniwa Green Brick
Coticule
Chinese Phig
Nice scope stand.
My progression depends on what I'm doing. Ranges from 80 grit wet wheel to Gok 20. Naturals sometimes if the synths don't float my boat.
Most of the time
1k Chosera
5k Shapton Pro
8k Shapton Pro
10k Super Stone
20k Suehiro
the rest of the time depending on what the situation is 400 Atoma, J-nats galore, Escher
After I finished up, a nice glass of Laphroaig triple wood scotch, watching the man in the high castle, and some SRP/eBay browsing - a good night!
Cheers!!
Norton 1/4/8 is my current focus. But if I get bored I've got a Soft/Hard/Translucent Arkansas progression, 3 Welsh slates from AJ on Ebay, a PHIG and a coticule rubbing stone to play mix 'n match with.
My go to set up is, King 1k, Norton 4/8, Naniwa 12k and Escher finish. This gives me a nice shaving edge. For my personal use I have been getting great edges from a King 1k, a coticule from Ardennes (which I hated but after breaking it in has turned into a fantastic stone) and an Escher finish.
1K Naniwa
3K Naniwa
8K Naniwa
12K Naniwa
20 laps on a hanging felt strop with crox
10 linen/60 leather hanging strop before shaving

Most of the time it's a King 1k, Norton 4/8, and to a vintage thuringian for finisher. Sometimes it's also a coticule or Zulu grey
