For what its worth, my cotis aren't the best bevel setters. I highly recommend a 1k... And in quick succession a 3 or 4k and an 8 lol!! But for sure the 1k. The bevels you'll get with a 1k will put a smile on your face!

Well that was me anyway.

I am sure that HAD will get the better of me sooner or later. I rarely need to set a bevel since I try to maintain my razors with touch ups, but I do have 15 micron diamond lapping film which seems to do a pretty good job when the occasion arises.

I am really excited to get my Nani 12k & suehiro 20k. I have heard great things about both hones and I am looking forward to playing around with them. I need a good excuse to throw out the homemade strops that were clumsily abused during my first few days.

Hi and welcome.

S.T.R.O.P.S!! lol. I got to try a few as I progressed... I was seemingly hellbent on seeing exactly how much pressure was needed to push a straight through one or two lol... sigh.

I used to use balsa for my pastes, but with the accumulated hardware from said strops. I bought some replacement linens at SRD and created a paste strop. I like it a lot.

Sorry about feeding the "frenzy" lol!!

I look forward to hearing about the hones!!

"hi Jeremy"

I too have the bug. I am in 30 deep in less than a year. I have learned plenty on this site, and will continue to learn. You may not have saved money at this point, but you won't be saying "How much more are they going to raise the price of these razor blades." You have enough supplies to last years, if you never buy another thing.

Great first post. Welcome to SRP!

Jeremy, tell me.where in west virginia are you. I live in hardy county, near the va line

+1 with what Dave said.

Welcome!
