Shobu KARASU SUITA" Lv3.5 on the bay?
JAPANESE Natural whetstone!! "Shobu KARASU SUITA" Lv3.5 - eBay (item 260559363116 end time Mar-27-10 08:55:43 PDT)
is it just me or is this a pretty good deal? I thought suita's like this (and its big, 175 X 75mm) often went for several c-notes? or maybe suita is a much more general term than I thought? are there decent japanese naturals one can use for finishing a razor that one can get for under $100? what are good vendors?
his little table of natural hone properties is pretty interesting - though I dont quite know how to decipher it, or how hones I'm familiar with (e.g. a yellow coti) would fit in there.
