I swear Brother, it truly is ....

I have RAD pretty much under control now, very few razors left that I just have to own,,, But the Rocks !!!! OY!!!

I have a vintage thuri (maybe escher), do I still need the nani 12k? (Actually yes, thats what the voices say )

You'll never be satisfied until you try it.

Ime the old escher type stones benfit from a maxed out edge so a 12k helps you get there.

Oy indeed.

My Naniwas just arrived and my twenty some razors are in such good condition that I'll have to acquire a "new" blade if I am to test the Nanis.

My recent efforts have been devoted to the coticule and j-nat (asagi) - with and without slurries - and I am so pleased with the results that I have prematurely concluded that the Naniwas, especially the 12k, are redundant (but as the chairman of the Department of Redundancy Department, I had to buy them anyway).

Lots of ways to skin the cat. Lots of stones to enjoy.

you don't, but you wouldn't be sure until you try it. at the end it's not that expensive to try. it seems that reselling at a little bit of a discount works well.

i have coticules, naniwas, eschers, thuringians, et ceteras.... so much stuff i don't use, but i have the comfort that they are right there available for me anytime i want to use them

I use the naniwas too, best hone I have tried. I go to the nani every time I don't have success with my other hones. I think I should put the nanis aside for a few weeks and hone on my others exclusively I want a good coti edge badly, so I wont stop until I get it
