    My Newest J-nat that I picked up the other day.
    A rare Ozuku Suita (without su).
    So far so good after two razors.

    Thumbs up

    Allow me to present my third Jnat. It is an Oozuku Sunashie Suiita

    I am told by the seller that Suiita is the fastest cutting Jnat. I am also told that this particular stone was cut from the lowest possible strata and is therefore a somewhat rare stone. This stone is judged to be in the 15k to 18k range and is designated as a pre-polisher. So far, I find that to be a fairly accurate assessment.

    Very nice stone, hope you will enjoy it.

    15-18K is plenty of sharp. I wonder how the seller
    measured what finess it has.

    I believe most guys rely on the scratch pattern under the microscope to get an idea of the approximate grit rating. Then there is the shave test. If the stone improves the shave, it is probably of finer grit than the previous stone you used.

    I can easily shave off the Suiita but my Nakayama Maruichi definitely improves the Suiita edge. I have determined that the Suiita is in between the Naniwa 12k and the Nakayama
