    Default Cnat , C12 K - where to find in Europe

    I want a big size ,C12k for finishing , and as a base for slurry honing . The problem is / oh boy is a real problem/ that i live in Europe . I read abbout the inconsistency in quality and that like the MST waterstones , in the Cnats there are deferences in the grit .
    Did someone buy in Europe locally a Cnat . Maybe , transatlantic is the best option . I have looked in a Chinese Internet store Aliexpres , but is that a C12k and is a good stone in therm iof quality . And in a second place , the delivery is over a month . For the last stone i bought from there was 3 months waiting .
    The King 6000 grit ordered from Japan came for..... 7 days including our slow postal cervice , so 4 days i say .
    I look the Tailor 1000 i think was , from england . He offers a Cadjima ,with a slurry stone ,at normal prise but the size is not propriate as i whant to work and keep diderent kinds of sluryes or naguras on the stone .
    As im looking the prises going up for this Cnats , i may go for smaler stone or something . Even in the small size q can i be sure abbout gritt as i have 7 or 8 smaler thuringians and i whant to finish in the Cnat with a thuri slury on diluting it to plain watter .
    Any sugestions for seller or some help abbout it , will be very usefull .I love my thiuri edges - no coticule canot ever reach them , but its somethimes anoing honing on a 12 x 2=5 or in the best case 14 x 3 sm thuri .
    I was thinking many thimes for a MST but the gritt size and inconsistancy in quality is makes me turn to C12 K .
    I know that most of the members had few Cnats , if someone whant to sell a auditional stone , may contact me .Just want to be a fine grit no 8 K or so .

    I was watching this stone , its a Cnat i think , but 2 3 months delivery is making me nervous

    A couple European shaving shops offer the stone I'm sure. There's also open_razor from Poland at Ebay who has been selling them for years.

    So far, I've bought 4 Chinese stones I think, from open razor, and all of them were good finishers. I've got a kajima too, and I also like it.
    Buying naturals is a gamble, and grit ratings on naturals are irrelevant.

    I got one from the seller from Poland and it is a great finisher, but natural finishers are a gamble unless you get one from someone that has tested each stone personally and can verify the quality.

    The best stones I've gotten (two of them) come in this style of box.

    I got one from a seller on alibaba that came in that style box, and one from woodcraft that they sent to me years ago just because I asked about it. I don't think they'll give them away any longer, though!!

    Every phig I've gotten (5) has been a little different, two good now (including the one from alibaba in that style box) two OK, and one poor (the poor one self slurried, which is a big problem).

    I don't think you can get around the risk, but you can try to improve your odds.

    I have no clue what that box says, but I'm hoping that it means they come from woodwell tool or something. IIRC, the price of the stone on alibaba (the big one) was about $35-$40 with shipping, which was cheaper than woodcraft here or I would've just gotten another one from them.
