I'd like to purchase a barber's hone for occasional touch-ups on my razors... but cannot really find a good selection anywhere. It seems that the supply of hones <= 8000 grit is plentiful, but not so for > 10,000.

I've found Chinese 12k stones on Classicshaving.com and Woodcraft.com for anywhere between $20 and $45. Fendrihan.com sells Naniwa waterstones around 12,000 grit for around $90. Any thoughts on these?

I've heard forum members sing the praises of Swaty's and other barber's hones. Where can I get these? SRP Classifieds don't seem to house many (if any) barber's hones and ebay is just as sporadic (and dodgy).

If somebody would point me in the right direction I would be grateful
