Thanked: 316K Shapton enough to maintain an edge?
I'm just getting into Straight Shaving and I see a lot of posts suggesting a Norton 4k/8k combo plus a higher grit stone for honing and maintaining razors. If I'm simply maintaining an already shave ready razor and not doing restoration work, is a Shapton 16k or similar hone sufficient to start with? My wife's already looking at me with the
look so I may need to start off slow. I already have a leather hone treated with CrO for my kitchen knives I could use on the razor for further edge refinement.
