Thread: More Jnattery

Should we have the view of "buy the best jnat you can, and then buy/sell razors until you find the 2 or 3 keepers that work well on the stone."?

I suppose that's great as long as you only have one form of access disorder.

If I was only interested in shaving, I could have very well stopped at my norton 1k, 4/8 and naniwa 12. I like fiddling around, trying different stones. I never had one that wasnt good btw. Its just some you like more than others. My softer jnats I use as prepolishers for my harder stones. But ive shaved off of each of them and they all get used. And one of these days I can sell them and settle on a few. I dont expect it all but something nonetheless.
