    The wife and kids have gone to bed, time to hit the hones! Current progression:

    Chosera 1k
    Norton 4K
    Norton 8k
    Naniwa 12k
    Suehiro 20k

    What's your current progression?

    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.
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

    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.
