Thought I would ask for opinions as I am thinking about changing up my synthetic progression. Currently I have a chosera 1k (keeping it as I love the green brick), naniwa ss 5k/8k/12k (the thick versions).
Normally I just go to the 5k and then swap to naturals (jnat or coticule). Sometimes I might use the 8k (hardly ever use the 12k though tbh).
I like the naniwas and my only gripe with them is I have to basically clean it with my DMT plate after every use. (The naniwa 5k probably my most used synthetic and tired of dealing with it loading up haha)
I might grab that goku 20k stone I believe is the name. Could see myself keeping the ss12k as a stepping stone before that.
With the 1k chosera and natural finishers was thinking about just the 4k and 8k shapton glass. I have tried the other shapton 8k Waterston or whatever but was meh for me.
Thoughts and opinions?
