Gentlemen
I have got some ebay razors like Gencos, Wostenholms, Bokers and the like. Most of them are not honed and need an edge. While, I have been able to set bevels on some of them using a King 1000 (king 1k/3k) stone, there are challenges when the geometry is not right.
The King 1Kchokes up pretty fast, and need cleaning using my DMT plate quite frequently. When a razor needs more work the King 1K feels like a real chore to use.
After spending a lot of time reading various threads, I concluded that I need a bevel setter better than the King 1K.
I came across the options listed below as the most frequently used.
The stones are at varying price points, hence I decided to take a poll for that one "holygrail" bevel setter synthetic stone which will not choke easily, not need my DMT frequently to clean and will work across a variety of steels with varying geometry and defects. The other stones I have are a Norton 4k/8k and Naniwa 12k. I have at least two dozen plus razors which have some challenges and will need some work.
Appreciate all your responses !
