    Your pics are pretty fuzzy can you turn on macro on the camera?

    Default Photoshopping.

    I took the liberty of photoshopping and resizing these photos...though i cant do anything about the blurryness.
    If these do not represent their true likeness, i will delete them...I hope this helps.

    Many thanks,

    Mac

    This looks like a uchigumori karasu stone, probably sold by 330mate, based on the appearance of the stamp.

    How does it work on your razors? Just wondering. --Jeff

    WAIT, you know 330mate's daughter? You know, if you don't mind, is there anything you can share about who 330mate is and how to order stones from her?

    You should know that there are many, many people on this site who have dealt with 330mate, and the reviews are all over the map. Some got great service and a great stone. Others got very little help or none or ended up with not such a good stone. I think there's even quite a few people who would like to buy from her site but can't even begin to figure out her auction process or translations from Japanese to English.

    I guess what I'm saying is that if you had any insight at all into how to purchase a good stone from her, it would be most appreciated by the people here. And, by the way, if you are a friend of her daughter, I bet the stone you have is a beauty. I wouldn't imagine that she would give a bad stone to either her daughter or her friend.
