Two Oozuku (Pic Heavy)
I recently got a new Oozuku Assagi from Maksim at JapaneseNaturalStones. I've used it a few times in conjunction with my new nagura. I've really gotten great edges. Of course, in true HAD fashion, the stone you have is never good enough. Thus, I received today my second Oozuku. This one comes from Morihei in Tokyo. It is a Oozuku Suita (no su). I haven't tried it out yet, but thought I'd share a bit of stone pr0n with all of the rock hounds...

Do you see any difference in performance of these stones? They look too different to me.

I've just started to test them for that purpose. I did a test shave off the Oozuku Suita today. Tomorrow I'll be doing a test shave with the same razor honed in the same fashion on the Oozuku Assagi. Originally Posted by Traskrom

funny coincidence, the kanji 高 is also used for the adjective 'expensive'.
Which was probably true enough

It's also the first character in my wife's maiden name (Takahashi/高橋)... coincidence? I think not! Originally Posted by Bruno
