I own his 3 stones set myself and although I will tell you without any doubt I have better stones, for the price and that fact you live there I would look into them.. Either the Greenish one or the Purpleish one can give a very nice comfortable shave... Something to consider when you do decide to jump into the honing pool...

here is a thread that has way to much info about them all and welcome to SRP we are "Count"ing on reading more of your posts

I think we may well be talking about the same ones glen, I loaned mine to os, I don't think he was over impressed, and he also thought the grit estimates were a bit high, but I only have the 2 less fine stones. I use them at the mo as I don't mind travelling with them as they were fairly cheap, and the edge I get is good enough for me, though I do only refresh rather than do proper honing.
