Thread: New Taidea Proyan glass series... Anyone did anyone else try these?

Mrjin

I would be very surprised if your shot was burnt... It's holliday time too, so my best guess is that the person responsible for answering mails in English language is not there at the moment. As I know my mails get through, I will send them a mail too about this question, just to make sure it's not a firewall related problem. I remember the first mails I sent them, I was behind a VPN and had problems reaching them too.

Congratulations on your 30K, I'm sure it will be a fantastic stone!

Thanks for following up with them. There can be lots of reasons why they did not respond, and there can be more reason why an email lost in transmission(I wasn't behind a firewall and have not received a transmission failure email yet but that does not mean the email wasn't lost neither). I really took that as a lottery, I saw the listing while I was looking for 0.1 diamond powder on AliExpress...

Not sure how soon I can receive the 30K, I bought it just to get to the bottom of the rabbit hole. Almost the end of a saga...

Hi Peter,

Thanks for pushing this through, I really appreciate that. Still haven't heard from them yet. I felt it might really be the case the email was lost as I've checked everywhere, nothing relevant found. Never mind, I'm not in a hurry anyway.

Hey Peter, just to give you an update that Alex got back to me and asked my address so that he could arrange a replacement. I replied with the address and also asked him whether he could help to recall the problematic batch.

Look forward to receiving the updated version.

I've just received the replacement from Taidea. The working surface of the new one was much better than last one. However, there were still fair bit of lapping needed to get it ready to hone razors. Tried it with a pocket knife and it behaved almost identical to the last one, cutting fast, easy to clean. I'm curious to see how this one goes. Hopefully no issues.

Another update. Just noticed the new store is a little bit thirstier than the old one. I sprayed about the same amount of water on to the stone, it got sucked in pretty quickly.

Hi mrjin

Sorry for the late answer, but I 'm in the middle of a bathroom renovation project, so I'm quite busy at the moment. Glad to hear your stone arrived! Yes, at first the stone takes some water but not much. After a couple of splashes, or soaking for a minute the water should stay on top. It would be interesting to know how the edges of your new Shapton 30K compare to the Proyan? I would imagine the 30K edge is way sharper, but what about smoothness?

Peter.
