bigger dimensions and cheaper than the 1K ( in the uk anyhow )
as honing is new to me I guess the wider the stone the better although I will still use x strokes
tempted by the 6" dmt but it seems...

damn, this is a tough choice
- king 1200
- norton 1000
- dmt x fine 6"
- dmt x fine 8"

king cheap, norton good, dmt practical but 8" kinda expensive
choices choices
heeelp :))

would this be the dmt you mention:
DMT D8E Dia-Sharp Bench Stone - 8 Inch (X Fine)

what about this 1200 king stone:
ICE BEAR JAPANESE MEDIUM FINISHING 1200 GRIT KING WATERSTONE SHARPENING STONE: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

has anyone tried it for bevel setting?

I'm in the process of ordering 3 stones dedicated to razor maintenance.

Already decided on the Norton 4/8k. I hope it comes ready to use and that I don't need to flatten it?

Now I'm torn...
