Greetings everyone! I'm finally about to purchase my first set of hones. So far I've got a Chosera 1k, Norton 4k/8k, and a Chinese 12k on my list. I'm also debating whether or not to buy a DMT 325 to lap everything. My next question, however, is about getting rid of small chips. Over the last few months I've bought some "eBay specials" in an attempt to get a good collection of razors I can practice honing on before I start honing for good razors.
A few of these blades (as well as some of my "good" ones) have tiny chips on them. What would you guys suggest I add to my hone list? Would the DMT 325 do the trick? Something lower? If I use a 220/325/whatever it may be, would I need another stone to bridge the gap between it and the Chosera 1k?
I look forward to the information you guys can give and I'll probably be buying everything next week.
