As far as favorite finisher, for Kamisori is Wakasa (I think my first stone I posted in the thread)
For western style razor is my Ozuko which I never posted here, so here it is:

Here are a couple of pictures of the backside of my stone, as well as a couple of pictures of an 'Olive Green Color' Nakayama Suita to use as a color comparison:

To name a strata with a stone is just pointless to me there are so many stones and so many layers that it will just confuse buyer in the end.
If you go to any wholesalers in Kyoto they will tell you harder stones is from Aisa medium is from Tomae and softer from Tenjyou, but i will bet that they dont even know them self what stone come from witch strata and even from what mine, they also say it that they are not sure and it is not important. Miners might know it but there are very few of them left. I know only one man in Japan that can do it by trying a stone that many wholesalers go to if they dont know what they have !
To guess stratas from a picture is just ridicules.
So for me it is a huge guess competition and pointless discussion what stone is from what strata. Will only confuse you even more in the end !
