    Can I interest you in a hone mortgage :lol: get it? HONE-mortgage? Ah, well ....

    I can't comment on quality or comparison points of that product because I don't have them in my bag of tricks. BUT, I will say that is an excellent choice of grit levels for work in restoring razors ....

    The 200 and 800 are needed for dings of various sizes and small chips.

    The 4k and 8k are routinely used to put an edge on an undamaged razor and polish it.

    I don't see any difference really between this set, and the comparable Norton combo stones.

    If I recall correctly, someone said that the Col Conk hone was 1200 grit.

    Let me add I just got the scary sharp system I finished honing my razors using the leather with green cromium paste wow. I think the 8k is just not enough by itself. 8)
