Thread: J-Nat club

I bring my solitary J-nat to the thread, a Nakayama Asagi that I got from a friend and fellow SRP member some months back. Puts a superb finished edge on an already shave ready razor. Using his photos to me because I'm too lazy to take new ones and couldn't do better anyhow. The stone is 4" at the widest point and 6" at the longest

This one is a Nakayama Midori Nashiji. possibly from the Tomae Stratum for all you J-HAD freaks that might mean stuff, for me it means I like the stone, after I tried it out...

Size is just under 8 inchs long x just over 2 3/4 inches wide

I use it only for finishing, I have used it with a couple of different Nagura but honestly the best results for me come with using it with it's own slurry generated by using a DMT 325 and letting that go to almost dry as I hone...

That is a great looking stone and if I am not mistaken it is a tomae strata stone and I am sure it is an old stock asagi with that fine complex color scheme leading to a vague green tint on a grey overcast. Here is a photo that shows some variation in the color group.

Man that is a beautiful razor! The stone is cool too...!

For those of you who know me, it would be no surprise that I have a few stones laying around my hotel room. Here are two chunks that fell into my lap. Alx p.s. Please visit my blog at TheJapanBlade with a new post about the Umegahata region of Kyoto.

my latest one, Nakayama with kamisori stamp, a very nice asagi with kan , with yellow/blue colors. When whet it looks green.
In process of getting to know it right now.

Mainaman, looks like a keeper, morgaged the bungalow?
