Hi,

I recently picked up a Shapton M5 12000 from the Japan Woodworker to add to my base norton hone set 220/1000, 4000/8000.

I touched up a Christians 4/8, finishing on the 12000 then swaty, strop linen and strop leather.

My shave this morning was BBS. Very comfortable shave.

Anyone here use Shapton's M5 series hones? I see the Pro glass hones mentioned form time to time here.
