The hones I mentioned are for serious prebevel and bevel work. For the average ebay razor, you only need to set the bevel and take it from there. Personally, I like a 1k, a 4kish, an 8kish, and a finisher. Others have different preferences. As Mick said, your cost per hone should not be $300 or anywhere close, and I'm still wondering what you were looking at.
