So, I've been using the sharpmaker for a couple of years for my knife maintenance needs and along the way, the act of sharpening became clear to the point where, just recently, I am able to use the rods in the "benchstone" manner to achieve a very good edge by freehand. Naturally, after realizing the benefits of freehand sharpening (time especially), I am in the market for some nice bench stones which would also serve to maintain my straight razors. I came across shapton stones and was wondering if anyone has used them or if anyone can recommend some good bench stones and bench strops, price not being an issue.

thanks,
mike
