Assuming your razors are in good shape and diligently stropped is one finishing stone enough for ongoing maintenance? I have purchased a Shapton Glass 16000 to rehone, am I right in assuming a re hone on that at reasonable intervals is enough or should I invest in sometime coarser to start with?
I rotate between three razors; a Boker King Cutter, A Dovo Carre and an eBay vintage Gotta all were shave ready and all are stropped carefully. The Gotta was the first to need some TLC and a rehone on the 16000 seems to have been enough (to my novice chin) but will that keep me going? Until I get it right with what I have I am not going down the path of buying restoration projects from ebay so I am assuming I have enough but a couple of things I read recently suggesting starting on an 8000 grit for rehoning was the way to go.
TIA
