Thread: Jnat Stone PassAround, Uchigumori hand held stone

I was one of the participants in Ekretz's passaround and the foam box worked very well.

I've done this thing in the past with some Kamisori. If you search in the razor forum you can see how it was set up. Make sure you lay it all out in writing in advance and any restrictions on membership time or locations and time to keep the stone as well as how it is to be packaged and mailed and insured. Make sure you are held harmless if anyone injures themselves while honing.

I was looking without finding the Kamisori Pass Around posting, can you give me hint? Razor Forum, date?, title?

I did just now find your post in the Razor Forum, Sorry to bother you.

I have seen those dense closed cell boxes. Thanks for the tip,
Alex

What a generous gesture! I would be interested in taking part if/when this gets going.

It can be uses with slurry or not, a diamond plate slurry or the tomo that is included. I found that it will hone almost any steel and will tackle a razor with a 2k to 4k pre-finish leaving the razor keen and beautiful with a kasumi finish. I have never done this before so some guidance would be appreciated.

best wishes,

Your a better man than I am Gunga Din... very nice offer.

That’s really cool. I would appreciate a chance with the stone.

I have only 1 jnat. A Ozuku Asagi Koppa

Cool idea, sharing is caring. Having never tried a Japanese natural, this is tempting and interesting.

So count me in, Europe +1.

Thanks for the interest, you are #1 in Europe and so far #7 overall. Also I lapped both the front and the back of the stone for more surface area.

The Uchigumori arrived today and due to a fortuitous sick day, I was able to use it some. So far, I'm liking the stone.
I'll report back with more details and pics in a few days.
