So got my 3k/8k in, my first honing went well! I posted a new thread about it if ur interested :P

Thanks guys!

Naniwa 1k is too slow then I reckon.. how smooth is the chos

What is the difference between the chosera 1k and a naniwa super stone 1k??? Besides one being twice as much..

Does it just cut faster? Does smooth cutting matter when bevel setting

Okie dokes folks. Been talking to Jarrod literally all day (while at work slacking off when I should have been working ;P) and finally came down to a La Grise combo stone. I will also be ordering the...

Currently in between emails with Jarrod at The Superior Shave. He too agrees a 3k/8k combo stone and a 12k would be a perfectly good.

Can you go from synthetics (naniwa) to natural stones...

Oh yeah, its horrible.. I made a habit of wiping my blade after each pass on my face, then immediately dry with paper and let dry in my other room on top of sheets of paper. Works fine but I have...

Will this give me as smooth a shave compared to the full set though? Im really going for a very comfortable shave.


Also im looking into doing some mild restorations in the future. Thanks for...

Very interesting Gsssix, does this system result in smoother edges???

Im going for the most comfortable shave because of my sensitive skin, so money isn't really an issue (besides full shapton...

Wow you guys have been such a huge help! Thank you all very much. For now ill. 1,3,8.

One more thing i dont quite fully understand (sorry) are the in between stones like 2,5, and 10 very...

Okay sounds like 1,3,5,8,10, and 12 along with dmt 325 is my order.

Gssix should I use the 1k even when im refreshing a blade? Or only after a few blade refreshes as the bevel rounds out?/?
...

Yeah? That. Sounds good too, but i Thought I read somewhere that the 8k to the 12k doesn't make any difference but I may be wrong.

Actually, now that I think about it, do you people use the 220, the 400 amd the 10k naniwas?

Im thinking 1,2,3,5,8,and 12k would be great?

Meh don't really want to buy two dmts, is the 325 gonna mess up the naniwas above 4k without using a finer one for cleaning up?

The Dmt 325?

Thanks gssix, I read over that a while back but after reading it over again it makes a bit more sense.

The reason I want to get into honing so early is because I won a bid on ebay for a nice...

Oops sorry if that confused you, but I have not purchased them yet. I was just saying even if I did I would have to stick to one or the other to fully learn that particular stone. No use jumping...

I really like the whole idea and techniques behind coticules. Im so stuck on what to buy lol >.< even if I just bought both im gonna wanna stick to one or the other to learn that particular stone..
...

thanks for the response guys, would the three set from SRD be enough or do I need any more stones?

Hello community :) I would like to get some final input regarding 2 different stone types. Btw I've already read all the wiki, did lots of research and narrowed down my search for the right stone(s)....
