Thanks for the updates.

I'm not sure if they really resolved the problems yet. I just noticed small round holes/pits on the new stone surface, which are around 0.3mm diameter. Initially I thought they were just swarfs but it turned out to be holes. Hopefully they were just bubbles during manufacturing and do not grow.

The new price is no longer a deal. It's higher than Naniwa 12Ks and significantly higher than Shapton Pro 12K. Proyan 15K is slightly finer than those, but given the uncertainty of the quality, I can hardly find a reason to buy them any more, especially there import taxes on top of it.
