I just got a Chinese 12K that I used my Norton Flating stone on then I used my 4k on it then my 8K. I am pretty impressed at how well it came out. I also noticed that the 4k and the 8k appear to be cutting better.

This was after I just tried to use the flating stone on the C12k. The shave was good but not where I wanted it to be. I had read an old barber book that the author stated that he used all his stones on each other. I thought what the hell. ( Im not known for being the sharpest tack) I have to admit that after I was finished, all my stones were smoother and when I sharpened the 5 razors that I had waiting I was really suprised with the results. I guess I say if you got them and a little time then rub'em together. These were all waterstones that I was rubbing against each other.

OK, after all this talk of rubbing stuff I think Im going to go see my girlfriend. Later Guys.
