    The nani 12k Superstone is a very fine hone to own.
    I very much like the feedback it gives....

    I like it after the 8K side of my Norton combo
    when building an edge.

    And I like it to touch up a razor that needs a refresh.
    It cuts fast enough that there is little need to visit
    my 4K/8K hone when a shaver needs a refresh in
    the normal shaving process.

    If you own a DMT 8K then the Nani 12k Superstone
    should make a fine addition.


    I remind myself to always note that mixing hones from different
    vendors is a risk. The different global standards are such that
    you can get a new hone and find that it does not fit in the
    sequence where you expect. Naturals are an adventure.


    If I had to start over I would get a set of Naniwa Super Stone hones
    and an (extra) coarse DMT to lap them (gently).

    If I was to win the lottery I would own a full set of Shapton GlassStone
    hones. As best I can tell from reading, the Shapton hones
    are numbered and made just differently enough so folk that try to
    stick one in their progression often get the wrong hone or it feels
    odd. As a set they are reported to be top of the line.
