Thread: Looking for a good 2k

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 don't like them either if there's an alternative. I'm mostly JNat, and fineness generally goes with hardness, but there's a small percentage that are softer and yet fine.

And one caveat, if you have a darned hard and fine stone, like the CKTG Ozuku I have, it works fine if you slurry it with a worn out diamond plate. You won't live long enough to slurry it with an equivalently hard natural nagura.

Cheers, Steve

The internet is always challenging our crystal balls. Sometimes the simple addition of a smiley helps us know what you mean or think.

You can use both diamond plate & go over it with hard nagura. Try it you might like.

I somehow missed this post, but yes, I've broken diamond plate slurry with natural naguras and you're right, it's a good thing to do. I know Bill3152 has mentioned that too.

Cheers, Steve
