If you could define what you are asking about it would help to have informed responses. Such as 'Are the Available'? 'Are they a finisher'? etc

You are right. What i wanted to know is if they are any good (as finishers!

Like most finishers, they are as good as the individual using them.
I enjoy the edge that I get off them. Here are a few links to help give you an idea on how they perform.

Yes they 'CAN' be a finisher. However as with 100% of All natural rocks they can vary in how they perform. If you are wanting to learn to hone I Highly recommend that you start with synthetics such as the Norton 1K and the 4/8K combo.

If you can't get a CCC shave (Clean Close &Comfortable) shave off of a 8K synthetic then you are pouring money down a rat hole pursuing higher grit synthetic hones or Naturals such as the Zulu.

I own the Zule Grey and the SIlkvein. Very capable stones but not for a beginner only because of the high cost, if you got money to spend and want them, great. Nothing to difficult about them after a little practice and lots of patience, be warned there is about a two month wait on orders.

Like others said, start with a synthetic for low cost and consistent learning. PM me if you want some recommendations.

Will do. Thanx tons gentlemen!

I will add what Glen (GSSIXGUN) has as his signature and I find it so very true!

"No amount of money spent on a Stone can ever replace the value of the time it takes learning to use it properly"

All I will say is that if you don't have a bevel you're just polishing a dull edge.

Ok. I have nortons 1k 4k and 8k. Also a naniwa 10k. .5 spray and .25 paste.

The razors are: Boker Elite. Dovo Bismarck. Ralph Aust Imperial. TI basic. Kanetaka kamisori.

All new.

Then i bought a used Jerry Stark custom. It came in with such a smooth edge. It was finished with a ZG. So, i want one! My edges are good, but this one is noticeably superior.

I know there is a learning curve. I just think that i am ready for the next step forward.
