Hello everyone!
I'm trying to figure out what hone to get in my situation. Seeing that there are very few sources of hones in Calgary, Alberta, I think the only reasonably priced choices are stones from Lee Valley ( I don't know of any comparably priced on-line source for us canadians)
Here's my situation.
I already purchased 4000 grid Japanese stone, King Brand, even before I started with straight razor (4000x Water Stones - Lee Valley Tools). Obviously I need 8000 grid and I have 3 options:
1. Get King brand 8000x Gold Stone - Lee Valley Tools , it's a cheapest option
2. Get Norton 8000 grid Norton Water Stones - Lee Valley Tools, most expensive option
3. Get Norton 4000/8000 combination stone Norton Water Stones - Lee Valley Tools, but I already have 4000 grid stone.
All suggestions will be appreciated.
