So my recommendation is not to go to those forums...............:) The best straight razor information is here any way!!!
2. I probably hone more razors than most and I routinely go from a Norton 8K or Shapton 8K or Naniwa SS 8K to either a Naniwa SS 12K, Shapton 16K or one of my naturals like my Escher or Asagi. I normally do 10 X strokes on water only followed by 10 X strokes on .5 diamond spray on felt followed by a regular stropping.
3. Most importantly, Have Fun and Happy New Year!!
