thanks for allowing me to join TSR, as a rule i just like to read posts on forums and garner information from there, but as a recent convert to stright razor shaving, and the sheer amout of advice banded about, i have took the plunge and decided to join, what is in my opinon one of the best online!
i'm desperate for help choosing the right honing stones lol. The sheer volume on the net about which set up is best is staggering and daunting.
how many stones do you actually need?
I want to go Shapton 1k, 6k then a finishing stone..... then i see the 1k,2k,4k,8k finishing stone... do i really need all those ...then then there are numerous other variations lol
it's got my head battered ..So any advice on this would be gratefully accepted ... thaks again all
 
welcome to the forum

You could go shapton 2 - 4 - 8 and a finisher (instead of the 1K you stay longer on the 2K). But do you need that setup? I mean if you only want to maintain your razors a finisher and maybe a 8K would be enough.
