When I started I thought, wouldn't it make sense to go up in increments like 4-8-12. But I decided on the 16. Maxi really helped me a lot learning about hones. I remember an email of his once where I replied that I had NO idea what he was going on about, with the PHIGs, Cotis, etc. I STILL don't really. At least with a Norton you know exactly what the grit is and there's HEAPS of info. I like the Shapton because that's what I use most for touchups and it needs no soaking.

Anyway, way off topic again and bouncing from topic to topic like a yo-yo. I must slow down...
