I have put a bit of thought into the progression.
1k =ship removal
5k= bevel setter
Pre finisher
Finisher

Essentially I don't try to muck about with slurry or naguras. Keeping it simple

The 1k will remove chips and set your bevel. The 5 k will polish and refine your edge. After that you can use any finishing stone really . I don't see the point of a prefinisher, but that's just me.

I thought the Gotogi was your 5th stone in your progression.

Ok.

Here is some photos of my current setup.

1k


5k


Prefinisher


Finisher. Either I haven't set the bevel right or a foil edge developed.

Thoughts and opinions welcome.

from the pics, it looks like you need to spend more timeon the 6k and the prefinisher.
Is the 6k a King?

Second shave update.

Little tugging. But no rash or issues post shave. Could be the few days of growth I had.

Will put it under the microscope when I get home tonight. See how the edge held up.
