Browsing the local Ads and found...
Browsing the local ads and found a Norton 4000/8000 Waterstone and a 3000 Grit Naniwa Superstone, that came with a Kropp 4/8 and a Timor by Giesen and Forstoff 6/8, all basically brand new, guy tried straight shaving, got all the kit and didn't like it, so he sold it for $155.00 all in!
Looks like I'm going to start to learn honing sooner than I planned, seems these stones are discussed and used here frequently, so for that price, resistance is now futile.
One razor in the pic he sold separately, but the rest is what I'm picking up Thursday.

Now just have to figure out do I have to buy a, "finishing stone", or will my coticule fill that role, questions, questions, have some reading to do before I embark on destroying my two test blades...

There is a learning curve with the coti but it is a fine finisher so no rush to buy that Zulu Grey. Originally Posted by Phrank

I shaved off a N4/8 for a year. The coti will make a nice finish on those old Sheffs you love after the 8k. Ummmm you going to lap them on your forehead ? Yep, I see at least 3 more stones in your near future :<0)

I would think the 3k would be a bit redundant considering you have the combo stone, perhaps you could offer to trade it for a 1k nani or part trade on a 1k chosera, could be a win win for you and someone else.
BUT I am speaking from speculation not experience.
Either way well done

Wonderful score, congratulations! Very envious of your bargain.
Is the Naniwa stone also a combination? It looks suspiciously like one from the photo... Also like the look of the Kropp - more photos please when you get a chance!
