    Default Killer Bee Black&Yellow Zulu is here

    Here is my Zulu . At first I wasnt sure . 100 laps later I wouldnt trade my Zulu for nothing.
    Watch out for a stinger smooth shave. Darn near shaved my face off after using coti and thuri up till now.

    Another satisfied customer. The razor gods have been very good too me with finding quality naturals. Unlocking them has been a learning curve that has been made easier because of the community. 2K grit polished this one right up.
    Your only as good as your last hone job.

    Yes it is . I asked him about this because mine didnt look like any of yours. This is what he says


    "My apologies regarding the labels; with the Christmas rush I literally used every label I had printed - including older designed labels.. but for you and about 12 other customers I simply had none left with no time to have more labels printed (without further delaying your shipping time). But so again my apologies. I have you guys on a list for sending out new labels the moment I get them printed, so you can expect a small padded envelope containing 3 labels in the mail soon enough. For now please see attached a Jpeg of the label for your reading pleasure
    Regarding the colour: There are various shades of the stone that go through my saw, so this is not an uncommon look at all - certainly not as plentiful as the homogenous grey stones, but a Zulu Grey nonetheless. In my experience the ZG's that have a yellow/green colouration to them appear to also be slightly harder/finer stones compared to the all-grey stones. What the colour is exactly is difficult to say. With a 10x loupe I notice that it appears to be exactly like the grey stone surrounding it, except it's more yellow than grey... so it could simply be iron oxide mixed with the clay matrix creating a yellow streak, or it could be some other mineral entirely. What I know is that the hone functions much like any other ZG that I sell.
    Use it, test it, let me know what you think and how it performs for you. If at the end of the day you are genuinely not happy with it's appearance/performance, then please just let me know and I will gladly ship out an 'all-grey' replacement at no extra cost. But as I say it should hone like the best of them."

    That sounds reasonable to me. I honed with it and I was impressed. Going from my current hone progression this is a huge leap forward in sharpness and keenness.
    Your only as good as your last hone job.

    I still have my Zulu, though it isn't getting a lot of use of late.

    You've inspired me to break it out for the next session...

    Congrats and enjoy!
