    Looks like they sell all the other Choseras in half thickness (granite mounting optional). Might make sense for razors, since we don't usually put much wear on stones (comparatively) after bevel setting. I'd definitely go full thickness on the 1k, though.

    After having the 1/2 inch stone and using it, I am inclined to agree with the recommendation for a full 1 inch thick stone.
    Maybe I'll buy another 1/2 inch stone and glue them together. HA!!!

    I understand they have the one mounted on the plastic base (avail on SRD), but that there's another one not mounted that's heavier or twice as thick. Any sources known for that one?

    They're all the same thickness, or so I'm told--the only difference is the base or lack thereof.

    I really have to pick one of these up... lots of names I respect and trust are saying so many good things about them! Besides, who doesn't love a new razor toy?

    You're welcome... wherever I mentioned them. Chefknives seems like the best deal if you order it alone, but if you are going to tack on something extra (like a DMT to lap, or treat yourself to a Thater [which you will refrain from flushing down your toilet like I did] or some English Bridle), SRD is likely the better choice.

    For the Canadian boys and girls:

    Google "Paul's Finest". I just picked one up for $73. With taxes and shipping it came to $95, and that included the extra bit for faster shipping. I really wanted this one quick.
