Thread: Shoobie Doobie Asagi

I got mine too yesterday, I mounted on a cedar base.
The stone took forever to lap except 2 corners, it is very very fine and smooth stone. I tried the stone with water only one a few razors that were finished on 12k SS, it took ~20 laps to get the edges where I like them.
Definitely a great buy.

Actually, I had a member over to the house today and showed him how to do the one stone method on mine. Very nice feedback from this stone. I used a razor in decent shape to start with and did 40 heavy circles both ways on a heavy slurry followed by 10 X strokes followed by 40 heavy circles both ways on a medium slurry followed by 40 no pressure circles both ways followed by 10 no pressure X strokes followed by 10 no pressure X strokes on light slurry and 10 no pressure on just water. Came away with a nice shaver. The slurry stone was a Coticule. Should we call this the ShoobieDoobieCot????

Anyway, this is a nice stone. Next up is the Ozuku Asagi.......

Have fun,

Just emailed Maxim--hope we can find a super-sharp one that I can afford...
