I'm quite curious as to what they feel like. I've heard that they were only sold by one man though, and that was a few years ago, so I'm not sure if they're still being sold.
I've checked invisible edge, SRD, ebay, etc. The closest I've been able to find so far was a page on the strop shop, saying they were sold out.
Bah! I'm an idiot. I spent all my efforts using the search function. It never occurred to me that there might actually be a ZG thread on the first page of these forums.
Your in luck my friend. He has recently just come out with a new website and is offering 25% off everything in your cart upon checkout. Here"s a link to a thread where he talks about this.

+1 to that.Quote:

Still can't make much slurry on mine, but as a final finisher I don't need much more than water.
It's a wonderfully fine stone that will have a place in your kit.

+1 - excellent finishing stone for every razor I've tried it with (about 20 or 30 now) - VERY dense though. Slurry is easier to raise on a freshly lapped stone/slurry stone. A bit slow but very forgiving.

I have an 8x3 and am considering adding a 2x6 for touchups.. but the 3x5..that's a nice size for sure.
