First Jnat ... absolutely amazing!!
I just had to throw this out to you guys. I've been reading all of the posts about Japanese Whetstones so I started reading as much as I could about them. I learned a lot of words and tags but not much about what to look for. I didn't think that any stone could be as good as my yellow coticule. So I took a leap of faith .... and invested some money in a Jnat that I just received today. I contacted Alex at TheJapanBlade who is knowledgeable and a gentleman.... and gets back to you promptly. A pleasure to do business with.
Anyway, the stone that I got is most beautiful, a mix of green and grey-pink. I was afraid, just as some of you are, that I would invest a lot of money and not like the stone. Alex will take the stone back if you do not like it but it is not necessary in my case. I've been experimenting with it all day and the results have been nothing less than amazing. I was able to skip my Norton 4000 and 8000 and C12K. It felt buttery with slurry, great feedback as it started to dry, and polished the bevel well. I went from Jnat to strop and got a great shave. I am very impressed with the stone.
