Hey guys thanks for all your help, I have a 1k 3k 5k in transit, which according to grit size comparison, and the findings of some people, should get me through most bevel setting and some sharpening...

Don't start lol. That's why I have the Thury and the J-nat. HOWEVER... Since I can't feel the difference on my face...

EDITED for p***-poor writing skills. Like editing a paper.

Thanks for the awesome response, and I have taken advantage of free honing twice. Hi_bud_gl hone my first ever razor, actually my...

When you are as poor as me, you find a way. Right now I am just incredibly patient with my Swaty. I have a razor and some other stuff in the classifieds. I have a 2-line Swaty pending sale. If I can...

Jimmy, one thing I will point out is a believe you should look to the JIS (new) category for naniwa grits as tehy are using the new JIS standards, so Shaptons numbers increase faster (close around...

I'm also still considering the Shapton 1k 4k 8k which would be a lot easier. I just have to think about the Nani's though. And it turns out that a Nani 5k is actually close in micron size to a...

I'll look and see if I can find an official JIS rating. I doubt it though. 99.9999% of people don't need sub micron sandpaper lol. Extrapolating the trends they look to be quite similar.

Because different people have different ways of measuring the grit. Grit is not a unit. If it said micron, that is a unit and is definite.
Shapton blatantly advertises that their 8k grit is 1.84...

well considering I'm using the barber hone for everythign right now.... I'm pretty patient.

So I understand 3k might be good as my only stone, but which would work better in 1k _k 8k? 3k or 5k?
...

off topic a bit... why do you have a 12k nani AND 16k Shapton when they are approx. the same?

I think after much deliberation I will either be going with a 1k 4k 8k Shapton Glass from Jende, or 1k _k 8k from somewhere else. Already have a Swaty, a Thuringen (very fine) and a J-nat (very fine)...
