No Belgian stones available - I use the Nortons, followed with a 12K Chinese waterstone and a 0.5 micron diamond pasted paddle. I'm working on getting some chrome oxide but don't have any yet.

I sat down and worked on a few razors this afternoon that weren't quite where I wanted them, the Reynolds was one of them. Dry shaved an area on my cheek and think it looks pretty good now. These have enough weight to plow through heavy stuff under their own momentum for sure.
