Thread: JNAT: Nakayama Asagi Tomae with matching Tomo Nagura

Some of you may remember that I have had to stop using my straight razors due to a worsening case of diabetic neuropathy, and have sold off my razor collection over the last few months. I am also selling my Japanese natural stones now that they have no razors to tend to.

This is an etremely nice Nakayama Asagi Tomae that I purchased from Keith Johnson about a year ago. It's a good sized stone (approx. 205mm x 80mm x 23mm and weighs 1034g, or 8.07" x 3.15" x 0.91" and 36.5 oz.) that I use as a bench stone atop a folded towel. It's a very hard (LV 5+) and smooth stone that is a superb finisher. If you want a one-stone solution (after bevel setting) you can use this with a full Asano Mikawa Shiro Nagura progression (Botan, Tenjyou, Mejiro, Koma) then finish with Tomo Nagura and then plain water. There is an area near one end that drops off from the flat surface, this presents no honing issues and will eventually work out with a few lapping sessions. The bottom and sides have been sealed with cashew lacquer. Comes with a matching Tomo Nagura.
