Thanks Mick and Jimbo, looks like there are quite a few straight shavers around here in S.E. Qld. Now I just have to wait to get all my bits. Has anyone tried out the Taidea stones from Auskitchen or the stones from themagicworld2009 (both sellers on E-Bay), they seem to be the same apart from the name, looks like the only Norton 4k/8K stones I can find are from overseas, and the price shipped to me would work about the same for two of the others in combo grit 2k/5k and a 3K/8K or 1 Norton 4k/8k combo. Any advice welcome.

Cheers
