Looking for a 12K waterstone
I am looking for a 12K waterstone. I dont think i care about manufacturer. The highest grit stone i own currently is 6K. I am looking for something to just remake an edge after use on a straight razor. I thought 12 is better than 10?
Normally i would not have a problem just buying something to test it out. However 80-100 bucks for a stone, i dont want to get screwed by not researching or asking questions.
Is there any difference between these stone. Why would one be 80 while another manufacturer 130? I am a little leery of the naniwa because there are no reviews for it. However on the other hand it is 50 bucks less.
These are the stones i found:
