Sounds like starting with a full synthetic progression is then the right decision for me at my current stage. I'm (not yet) interested in starting a stone collection, but simply want an highly functional setup that is reliable, efficient and capable to produce a high quality edge which is sharp and smooth (once I master the basics of honing)Synthetic are just more utilitarian. You’re not going to make a collection of Naniwa 12k super stones. One you’ve got one you’ve got them all. A show us your naniwa 12k would be a pretty boring thread. Natural stones are varied and interesting but some people just want to shave. You don’t need a big collection of stones for that.
