Thanks for the reply -- I'm currently googling your suggestions while at work...

Ideally I'd like to learn to do both, though I'll probably start with touching up first and progress from there. At least then I can keep my razor(s) sharp.

What is the recommended grit for each task though? What I mean is what's the difference between setting a bevel with a 1k/6k stone and a 4k/8k stone...and which is better? Similarly, how high is a high-grit stone for touching up?

Of course, feel free to link me to any relevant threads in the right sub forum -- I know I've kind of just dived right in here!
