Ooops, sorry. Wasn't trying to be funny. But then I guess I was diverting the thread topic somewhat. :thinking:

eh. Not like this is the first thread in the history of SRP to suffer topic drift.
I don't read them either, actually.
If I had the choice between the Nakayama and the s30k strictly for razors I would choose the Nak all day.
It works much different. Under the scope the edge is much finer. A much more even finishing, which ironically is due to the randomness of particle size.
I also do not strop on paste after I use it. A couple passes on the felt/diamond spray combo and it's good.
I don't end up using it like a regular stone, I do a fast crayon coloring type motion which would equal a lot of passes. But my particular stone is very hard and slow cutting. Is it "magical"?..well, at the very least it's pretty damn special and considering a shapton 30k is in the $250 range, if you were only using it for razors I would spring for the Nakayama instead.
JimR, I would let you borrow my Nak if I wasn't using it all the time cuz I love it so much :)
