Thanked: 59Narutaki Asagi Goma
(Sold quickly, sorry) Check back because I will be posting more great finishing stones soon.
I purchased this stone from Tomonagura aka gamma last year at the end of October. I've used it on about 4 razors to put a finished edge on. As described, the shave off this stone is second to none. Has a fresh lap on it, the only lap is has received since I got it. In awesome condition. A real sweet Japanese Awase.
I will quote Tomonagura as he described this stone.
************************************************** *********************
"This is a very interesting stone; it’s hard and fine, close to very hard but not quite. It has a wonderful ‘alive’ feeling under the blade. At first, it seems to be a little more thirsty than most stones of a similar hardness, but it settles down quickly. I thought enough of this stone to shoot a video about it... I love working on it and the edges have been absolutely killer smooth/sharp. It did a phenomenal job on a Kamisori that has what I'd consider to be extremely hard steel.
It's a beast of a Koppa too - almost 7" long and over 3" wide. That's a pretty spectacular set of dimensions, not to mention that it's almost 1.5" thick too. Over 2 lb of Jnat goodness with real estate to die for.
This is a very smooth stone to work on – the feedback is smooth like silk and the blade stays in contact with the stone easily without skipping. The working surface seems to keep its matte appearance easily.
A Tomo Nagura is included.
