    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    That's right, DON'T play with us like that! We're a group that is easily influenced. The RADdicts are a guarded, jaded and skeptical lot . Us HADdicts are too easily influenced with the notion that there is an illusive polishing stone out there that could be the next Asagi.

    Oh ok, heres what little I know



    I guessed they must be from your side of the pond, Ive come across them in a generic packaging with the importer/distributors name and a brief mention of "yellow lake" on the box "use with oil or water" and I did see them mentioned in an old document where they were compared favourably as a cheaper alternative to a stone we would think of as a razor finisher, but they werent being discussed in the context of that document as a razor finisher.

    Im sorry about the last cryptic bit above but I cant remember where I read it or what the other stone was, the article was along the lines of " tools to build your homestead" .

    If you guys have never heard of them they cant be any good for razors, they do look like another slate type hone though.
