I have only S&Gs in the med grits: NP800, SP1000, SP2000.
I like all three of them and am not searching to have "better" but "different".
The aim, if not fun of discovering new stones, is stones that are better in a finishing progression, or have other attributes my stones cannot really compete with.
I've been mostly looking at three options, and would likely buy 2 out of 3, or perhaps just one if the feedback seems to indicate it voids the need of any of the other two:
Cerax #700
Cerax #1000
King Deluxe #1200
And let's say the Cerax 700 would help me complete free shipping on a cutting board I'm inclined to purchase - so I'm really inclined to buy that stone too... But I don't care so much in the end, just aiming for the best advice.
Thanks!
it seems like you already have the best stones in this grit range. so why buy more of the same? i've had about 10 different 1k stones. and in the end i only kept shappro/glass/nanipro800/hyper. because those were the best ones. i kinda liked the juumas too but i dont like soakers.
maybe you should look into other grits like 3-4-5k or even 8-12k, and then maybe some coarse stones like 200-ish grits?
personally i dont care about the contrast a 1k stone leaves because the finish is simply too coarse and raspy anyway. at 2-3-4k then it starts feeling smooth and nice.
