Thread: Buyer advice

I have a little HAD kicking..I have seen on eBay a fellow called 330mate. Are his stones good? I have a hard time understanding his explainations on his different stones. Can one of you gents tell me the breakdown? Thanks

I have only bought one stone from him, and on that particular stone, the description was a bit off.
It has now been transferred to the kitchen-knives honing section

If I may, I'd suggest you check out Maxim's Japanese Naturals.
He describes his stones very well, and knows what a straight razor shaver is looking for in a rock.
The price level is also very pleasant.
Check him out on this website

Good luck taming the HAD

Oh, I didn't know about this guy. Thanks!

Nor did I, but I think they are a member here. I've seen that picture of the Western Stones before...

Wintchase, I have just recently purchased a stone from 330mate. From what I understand it is more of a game of russian roullette in terms of what you will get, though he will reply back to you depending on what you ask.

If you have a search of this site, there is a lot of positive feedback regarding 330mate, his stones and his incredibly bad engrish descriptions of them.

I just wonder how many of the folks buying his stones really, I mean really, know how to use stones like we HAVE to, to get a razor where it should be?

I've got one too that I haven't put thru the paces yet...
