Thread: Norton 4000/8000 Best place to get one

Hi,

I have been searching around looking for the best price on a Norton 4K/8K, the cheapest I've seen it is here for $69.99, I don't know how much shipping is though.

Has anyone been able to find this at a lower cost?

Also, what's the best place to buy a Belgian Yellow Whetstone?

Thanks!!

I recommend Classicshaving.com for your Norton hone needs as you can buy other good shaving products at the same time and save on overall shipping. They are just a tad slow on shipping but they are a good company to begin a relationship with as they sell almost all of the needed items.

I agree classic shaving is the best place since they have such an excellent selection of all kinds of shaving gear at fair prices. As far as the yellow goes I got mine from Howard Schecter. I believe his site is theperfectedge.com. Sometimes the consistancy of those stones can vary quite a bit but his seem to be OK.

Great, Thank you!!

I think I'm might give the Vintage Blade a try, they have the cheapest price on the Nortons I've seen and $5.00 flat rate shipping, also have Taylor creams pretty cheap..

I'll try theperfectedge for the Belgian stone.

Thanks

I have never bought anything from any of these places, but was searching for Norton Waterstones and came across these sites. I have no idea how much shipping is. It seems like if you have a use for stones in addition to 4000 and 8000 grit including a flattening plate, that there are some packages available at what seem to be a good prices.
