HI all,

I have a razor that I have been restoring for a few weeks now (and a few that I will start restoring after that). However, I would now like to but the edge back on the blade that came off during sanding (I think you call it the bevel). I have a Norton 4k/8k stone, but I do not want to use that because I think that it will take me a VERY long time to get the edge back using the 4k. Therefore, I wish to buy a new stone just for putting the bevel back on the blade. I don't really want to use sandpaper because I always tend to run out before a job's finished!

I've been looking at a few different types, and I think that a Norton 1k would be good, but they are to expensive I think. I've been looking at Japanise waterstones and I can get what look like good ones from ebay at what I think is a reasonable price.

Question is: are these Japanise waterstone good for getting the bevel back on a blade? and if so, what grit would be best?

Thanks for any help,

Steven
