Yup, Lee Valley is great, but I need a stone yesterday, so to speak. I found a 1k/6k Japanese stone Deluxe Combination Waterstone #1000/#6000 Grits [#01.096.30] : Gentmantel Online Catalog that i could pick up today. Is that to much of a jump?

Alternatively, If there's a honemeister in MTL who wants to meet up and sharpen my blade in person for a nominal fee, that would be great. Unfortunately, though, I have to leave for Vermont tomorrow afternoon for the wedding. Any takers?

Thanked: 13246 Just for informational purposes
Any stone you can raise a slurry on and is fine enough to use as a polishing stone can be used to sharpen a razor....
I AM NOT advising this....
I am just saying that an experienced Honemiester can do it, look at Bart's threads on using his Unicot method....
This system will work on any 8k stone or higher that you would not mind shaving off of... The Coticule is not a magic stone, it is just more known for the use of slurry...Most naturals are known for using slurry, but honestly you can use the same technique on synthetics that can raise a slurry....I used this on the Norton 4k/8k for a long time before I invested in more stones...
No, I would not want to do this off a Shapton 16k, but you can....

Welcome to SRP JonnyBoy. Here is an old thread that addresses the question. The last post mentions Lee Valley Tools in Canada. I don't know if it is in Montreal but there is a link. Are there Woodcraft stores in Montreal ? The USA stores carry the Norton. Originally Posted by JonnyBoy

Ok... so I picked up a 1k/6k Japanese stone, and after working the blade for a bit, I reset the bevel, and sharpened it up to the point where it shaves arm hair pretty effortlessly. I know jumping from a 6k to a 16k is a big jump, but with enough laps, and a clean bevel I should be alright, right?

Yes, the jump from 6k to 16k is a little "large" but after 3-4 strokes on the 16K, it should start to feel better. You may want to do a few extra passes to make sure your edge is nice from the 6K.

Thanks,
I'm really excited to shave of the 16k (after a good stropping, of course.)
