Yeah, I'm gonna be getting the 12k by itself. For now I'm not planning on getting a pasted strop(or making one rather). If I find I can't get a smooth anough edge on the 12k and stropping...I'll go...

Awesome. Glad to hear.

This has been my thinking as well. I figure the hardest part to learn would be how to set the bevel properly and knowing when it is actually set. Thus why I don't plan on getting the 1k until I...

Hmm, I see. *sigh* Why is it that when I try to save money you guys say stuff like that and make me want to get more stuff :D

I'm thinking of simply getting the Naniwa set(or maybe the 12k alone...

I have a question, thought I'd spare the space and not start another thread. Would I actually benefit from pasting a strop with CroX and finishing on it after using the Naniwa 12k? I know technically...

Excellent, that's good to hear. I doubt I'll get the Chosera to begin with simply because it's like three times as expensive as the SS :dropjaw:

And as you say, it all depends on how many razors...

Thank you very much for your reply. I've been reading on the Choseras and yes they seem to be of very high quality, so your comment " if you
buy a Chosera you will be happy with it to the point...

Thanks. That's the logic in my mind, but I didn't/don't know how much of it is based in actual fact. As to what I have, that's why I'm askinbg this here now, I don't have anything yet and won't for a...

Thanks for the opinion! I hadn't looked at the Chosera, will now.

Anyone else?

Ok, so I've been reading up and watching all the videos on honing and hones, and lapping, etc. I don't plan on getting any hones for a while after getting my first razor(which I haven't gotten yet,...
