once you can shave with this you can spend more money in more/better stones
The PB-04 version “for carbon steel” is quite hard though. It dishes slowly and wears slowly. The 6000 side wears about the same rate or slower than the Shapton 12000 but has as good or maybe even better polish.

I really can’t recommend that sharp pebble stone. It is cheap (not meant as a disparaging comment), but it’s very slow. Very frustrating to sharpen on. I had it for about a year and I never liked to sharpen on it. For great bang for the buck sharpening setup, I really like what I have. King pb-04 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008FU4332) and the shapton pro 2k (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002LW54RO)
There are definitely other great combos out there, but I think this set provides probably the best experience for the amount of money spent.
