Diamond stones are nice but its tough getting by with just the super fine grit. I use my coarse stones as often or maybe more than the fine.I was wondering about stones and what I would really need. I have the small flex cut stopping block that came with the rouge but I also have some leather to make a larger strop. Could I get by with just a larger strop if I'm using it really frequently? Or should I also get hard very fine whetstone or a diamond stone in the several thousand grit neighborhood?
To save a few bucks, sandpaper on a glass or granite slab works just as well.
