I'm not quite ready to take the plunge into honing just yet, as I've been able to maintain my razors so far with the occasional use of a pasted strop. That said, my wheels are starting to turn a bit, and I'm wondering what stone would be the ideal choice once my razors need something just a little bit more than a pasted strop. Coticule? Barber Hone? 4k/8k Norton? 12k Naniwa?
I know Coticules are supposed to be difficult to "learn", but I'm guessing that applies more towards taking a razor through an entire progression. I don't really have any plans at this time to do any bevel setting. Anyway, I'm curious to get people's opinions. Thanks in advance!
