@jseitz — Will do, sir. I’ve been meaning to validate Glen’s maxim: “the Naniwa 12k SS edge is difficult to beat at any price.”

You'll have a lot of fun doing that! So many razors, so little time...Quote:

Im sure you will like it.
I dont have a Naniwa 12k sadly, I know now I dont need one with having the SG10k and SG20K but I my still end up with one at some point, I did shave with a gold dollar that have been finished on 12k and it shave well enough.Quote:

I use it mostly to finish my hardest steel razors. My heavy Hart steel razors go well on the 20k. But my Dovo 6/8 Flowing is a nice shaving razor when finished on the Shobu asagi tamamoku. So the key is your skin, if your skin can cope with the acutely sharp 20k edge then go for it. My skin prefers a little more comfort. I have had the Suehiro since they arrived a few years back, and it will still be honing the razors of my grandson's kids.
