Thread: Looking for a good 2k

Thanks for all of your input, I have made a choice and I also have a new favorite stone, this thing is as smooth as butter and a fast cutter.

A great 2K choice. Nubatama Ume Blue Speckled 2K

I bought the 5k nub and I like it alot. My 5k and 10k choseras both crazed on me. Good luck with it. Its a nice looker there!

Hi Dave,

I'm with Birnando on this one. Personally, I'd go with the 3/8K Naniwa superstone combo. Pick up a Nagura slurry stone and your can "stretch" the capabilities of your stones even further.

Whatever you end up with, spend lots of time having fun!

Thanks Siguy, I have the SS 3/8 and don't like it, would you like another?

I certainly would not turn one down, but I think you may wanna keep your eye out for a brother in need. I can just imagine how ecstatic a newer fella SRPer would be.

Ahh... Got it. Couple months ago, a elder SRP head posted a hone giveaway contest.... Newbies? Food for thought.


ps-what was it that you did not like about the 3/8K combo?

Giveaways etc have to go through the mods for approval first, sorry that's just the forum policy, i know a member was disappointed recently when he tried to give away a hone and the comp got pulled. you could put that 3/8 in the classifieds though I am sure someone would take it off your hands.

As edhewitt pointed out, no contests may be held without the specific permission of SRP. You will need to contact a Senior Moderator with your request and the details of you "giveaway".

Momentary lapse of reason, I suspect. I will try to retain those to the Off topic Anonymous thread

Hard stones are unnecessary for razors period... Unless you hone a lot of razors & do edge repairs. Then with hard stones you waste less time lapping & spend more time honing.

I never said anything about giving any thing away, please re-read the post. I asked if he could use another stone in jest. Geeze, guys, is big brother watching or what......
