Hey guys,
I need some help. I have a Norton 4k/8k but nothing else. Also have a TM #3 hanging strop with linen and leather, which I do not plan to touch with pastes. Is it possible to get a shave-ready edge with only the Norton?
I am thinking of getting some more equipment if needed, but need some info/help. I don't know whether I should get a coticule, a pasted paddle strop, etc.? What would you all suggest?
Could I go straight from the Norton to a pasted paddle strop?
If I go the paddle strop route, from what I read, I was thinking 3.0 micron diamond, 1.0 micron diamond, 0.5 micron diamond, and 0.5 micron chromium........does this make sense?
Or should I not get a pasted paddle and just get a coticule? If so, where do I purchase the coticule?
I know I have lots of questions, but I'm looking for some guidance. I've been around for a while and read posts and the wiki, but still have these questions. Any help would be great. Thanks a million guys!
