It just goes to show. Some can get lucky enough to get a good one and enjoy it. Some have had bad or mediocre experiences.
I like fast. I like good results as as soon as I can get them. If someone can spare a few hours and get good results, That is a good thing. I would not personally go down the road. No need to at this point.
As newer guys get one and attempt, it may discourage them. JMHO"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

I think that Woodcraft has them but not sure what there price is compared to the Ebay guy mentioned or others.
Do they come lapped on at least one side or do you have to lap them before use?

The comma on that site is actually the dollar and cent marker. That stone is actually $229.69

We can buy the larger size Guangxi stone in Australia for about AUD 45 - so you guys in the US should be able to buy one for a bit less. I bought one and can confirm that while it is capable of finishing a razor, it's pretty slow when compared to a modern synthetic like a Shapton 12k ceramic. The Shapton is fast and gives the same results from razor to razor; the Chinese stone is slow and a bit hit and miss depending on the blade.
If you want a good finisher that doesn't demand great patience get a Naniwa or Shapton 12k.
