I lapped one face and one side, and used the side because the razor has such a prominent smile. I soaked the stone for a few minutes prior, but it is so thirsty that the surface doesn't stay fully wetted for long with such a short soak. Grit comes loose with no effort, my stone feels like sidewalk chalk.

Ah, could that be an Amakusa? It looks quite different from pictures that I've seen. Olivia had mentioned to me in chat that she also had one and also found it unsuitable for razors. Originally Posted by Memorael

This stone is worth the money. If i am not mistaken it was 13.00 . i hope they will have a little larger size. it acts 2-3k level and it is a good one. Go head buy this. it is worth it.
