Without mentioning the seller, which natural Japanese hone did you use today?
Hay out there, without mentioning the seller, which precious little japanese natural razor hone did you hone with today? Is it a asagi, kiita or suita or some other tomae stone? What is the size and do you handhold your hone? Any and all photos would be appreciated and a good photo of the back of the stone too. Alx

Nakayama lapping progression
This is my Nakayama Maruichi
Attachment 77409
This stone has served me well but because of some very good advice from Stefan [mainaman] this week, I have developed a "lapping progression" for this stone.. I had been lapping and making slurry on this stone with the 325 grit diamond plate. Stefan suggested that I could improve my edges by improving the surface of this stone with finer stones in the lapping process.
So, I now have a "lapping progression" which goes like this; 325 diamond plate, Norton 1k, BBW and finish with the Norton 8k. This new surface on the Nakayama has given me the best shaves I have ever gotten in my 43 years of straight shaving.
