First off, I have received my first new straight razor, a snakewood handled Thiers Issard.
But on to the post, I have been trying to determine exactly what i wish to purchase to hone this. After reading about the cutting qualities of the Belgian coticule slurry, I wonder if it would be sufficient to use this stone with a slurry to achieve the bevel and without to finish the edge before stropping.
Is a Norton 4/8k or something similar a necessity?
