You might be correct Oz the discription claimed it is good for swords and for removing the lower grit marks

This is the descriptions

Uchigomoru Suita:
This is a sensational suita and known for it's cutting abilities with a history that goes way back renowned for the final stage of sword polishing proceeding a koma throughout Japanese sword history. This works a charm as a midrange or prefinishing stone and releases a beautiful pink slurry from the renge (red) spots in the stone, although a somewhat hard base it cuts very fast and I have sucessfully removed scratches from the 1k and #600 chosera. They are also used for bringing out the contrast in bi metal carbon knives and are often sold as tiny pieces called "finger stones".
145x60x30mm

Nakayama Asagi:
Most of us are familiar with that name as it's a highly coveted stone in Japan which also reflects the high price tags that we see often. I have tested this stone by avoiding the stamps and it's ultra smooth and fine as expected. The stamps translate to "True original mountain" "Nakayama Tomae" "Kyoto Whetstone Assosiation". The colour of the stone is asagi (greenish/grey) and has a beautiful kawa skin. The colour of the slurry is white which makes it very easy to judge the cutting action which darkens after a small series of strokes. This stone needs a good lapping, I can do this prior to shipping upon winners request.

I'm just generalising mate. Yes, Uchigomori are generally used on swords & Tomae stones on knives but there can be overlap into razors.
