This is my New Ohira Range Suita.
Very creamy feeling Lv 3 or so very nice stone and just super super fast. I can use it both on razors (not as finisher) and my high and knives.

Here is another Shinden that was probably slabbed up in the 1910s-30s. Very pure and consistent and heavy and dense. HHT-4 all day long from this stone.

Nice rocks indeed!
Alex I am curious to know if you have a video somewhere of doing HHT! :)
wow, nice job Doc, some of those were really HHT5s.
edit: like the one at 0:18
That was the sharpest I have ever gotten a blade. I don't usually do the HHT in this manner (few inches away from the edge) but I was playing around with this one. This was a razor I honed for someone else, they told me it was the sharpest and smoothest shave they have ever had.
Guys let's stay on topic here?
The thread is about J-nats not HHT, a separate thread would be most suited for discussing it.

I just answering Daniels request.
Here are my humble J-nat's. I don't have many but they are all great when used in sequence. I'm content.

I have to say that the edges I can now get since receiving the Nakayama are far and away the best I have been able to achieve.
