    Default Zulu fitment

    I am thinking about purchasing a Zulu Grey stone. I have a Naniwa 12K, 8K Norton, 4K Norton. I also use .5 sprays on a linen strop. Where would the Zulu fit in with the stones I have? Thank you

    I also have the Naniwa 12k and just purchased the Zulugrey.
    It can fit in after the 12k or instead I'm looking forward to finding out.

    I have both and go along with that. It is my impression that the Zulu Grey might give a tad smoother edge.

    Don't forget there's a 35% discount this month, so it'd be rude not to buy...

    I have both and have done it both ways: Naniwa 12K followed by Zulu and Zulu followed by Naniwa 12K. I finish with the Zulu now. How would I describe the difference? I couldn't. Sometimes I'll go to pasted balsa CrOx, sometimes not.

    Could this be used as a razor refresher stone? Where are these things available?

    Yep, but listen to more experienced users.

    Good for for final finishing and refreshing for my straights. Very nice stone at a very fair price.

    After reading, I'll stick with my Belgian Coticule, Dovo green, red and CrOx pasted balsa boards...been working for me for a while, and I don't need yet another excuse to spend money...trying to keep my spending only on a couple of types of blade now, otherwise I'll end up with a rotation where I only use each blade 3 x a year!!!
