Suita stones are the ones that are white with brownish swirls? I see them all the time, but I always thought they were mainly good for kitchen knives. Are there razor quality suita?
Lately I've only been using one synthetic stone. My kiita stones from alex cut so fast that in a matter of seconds all 1k stria are completely gone. They are also fine enough to stop there, but I usually go to one of my top finishers after the kiita. I've never seen that much improvement of my edges doing a full nagura progression, versus just using a mejiro or koma or tomo. It all looks the same when visually inspecting the edge regardless of which nagura I use. I imagine the feel would be different if I tried shaving after each one.
