If you've got any honing friends close to you then lend, borrow or steal stones from them until you find what you like and works for you.
A good finisher is usually not cheap, you could get lucky on ebay, but if you're new to honing razors how will you know if you really got a good hone or if your using it wrong.

You might consider a naniwa 12k. It needs frequent flattening, but is a super finisher, IMO.
earcutter and HARRYWALLY like this."Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

I have seen many posts saying the 12k naniwa and 16k SHapton leave micro chips. ALl I hear is Natural natural . SO I Figured I would pick one up. How do I know what grit a Natural is?

I have not experienced this and have finished many, many razors on the Naniwa. You must gain experience in naturals so you can detemine what you think yours is. Also, you must have experience with synthetics which are graded to have some idea what 12k actually is.

Naturals vary, the only way to know is test it.
That being said, there are a couple small thuringians in the classifieds right now. They are great finishers.
