Come on REZ. Where you live I bet there are hundreds of them laying around. Ha. Its got to bit a pain at times when living in the middle of no where.

its been said, and take It to heart. to be honest you should be taking an 8k to the max and shaving with it. then learn to max your 12k. if you aint there with that 12k, then you still need lots of work. that stone is going to rival just about anything you can try it against. once you get great edges off it then go ahead and try other edges. or have a pro hone your razors on different stones and try them and see what you like.

my guess is if your new you wont be able to tell the difference between the different stones as long as their maxed out. Tc

Great input guys. I will be sticking with the 12k. I am going to take the Goldenedge to it tomorrow morning if time permits and see if I can get rid of that pulling. I will try running water. Have beenI lapping the stone with a DMT 325 prior to using it each time.

Matt you have gotten some good advice here. Taking your time and becoming proficient with your Naniwa 12k will reward you in the future. The Naniwa 12k can produce a very comfortable shave. As you progress read all you can here on honing and hones and you will be much more comfortable in moving on to something else. Ask questions.
