I am about to purchase a brush, strop, shaving soap, etc. and this seemed like it might be a good purchase to tide me over for a while until I make the jump to a Norton 4k/8k. Is this a poor decision or would this be a good investment?
The concept of buying a Norton and the requisite lapping stone seems like a gratuitous investment at this point in time, as I am just getting into the hobby and starting off with the best of the best of everything seems a bit frivolous. So long as this Col Conk stone will allow me to put a shave sharp edge on my razor it seems that this would be the way to go for the time being.

Please let me know what you all think. Any comments, suggestions, and opinions are appreciated.

All the best,
Cameron
