Hey, I've been lurking and there are some incredibly skilled and knowledgeable sharpening guys on this forum so I hope that this rookie question isn't a nuisance.

I have a Lansky Sharpener with the standard ceramic stonea up to 2000 grit. I am getting a few leather strop attachments and I need advise on what micron paste to use.

I'm looking at these TEMO syringes and they have many grits available.

My question is if I can only get two, which one's should I to get a better finish than my 2000 grit stone? I thought that 3.5 and 0.5 would work best because 2000 grit is roughly 8 micron based on some internet charts.
 
Well if I would finish with a 2k waterstone I would go for 3.5 and 1.5 ( or 1 micron). But Lansky 2k sapphire ceramics leave nicer finish than 2k, so maybe 2.5 and 1 micron would suit you better. It is highly debatable since it's all about what kind of edge you are looking for.
