I love my cg. It is soft and slurries really easily. I think it is the best stone for knives I've used, but not a finisher for razors. You could use it for razors, but the dt, lm and wt are finer in my opinion.

So i test shave off the WT. It really did improve the edge. Silky smooth. No irritation. Did about about 50 passes on the stone. I will test her out on some other razors. Loving it!!!

My WT has been my go to finisher lately, 20-25 laps light slurry with no pressure and 15-20 laps plain water with no pressure. I'm getting great edges.

I know this thread has been dead for a little while but I had to tell someone that I got the tri hone set ordered. Should be fun.

I am really enjoying mine.
Hope yours are as good

I just ordered mine, looks like a nice big stone to have for a reasonable price. Will report back.

You know...there are a lot of good stones out there...reciently I bought one of those Chinese (thury Looking) stones with a slurry stone included for 10 dollars on ebay,

and that thing is one fine finisher...really surprised me. It is harder than an escher but not as hard as a shapton, Interesting...

But I still think it's his responsibility to not be just repeating whatever BS comes up on the shaving forums. Imagine if everybody started calling the PHIG a 'chinese 12000 grit hone', all those kittens and puppies that are going to die...

Wales? Not an ocean going mammal ?
Thuringia? Not the stuff that needs to be in cat food?? (nice)Hone ? Not what you give to little kittens....
Need a better spell check!

Hehehe, just bought one. Also a nice looking green thuri on the site.

They are not Thuringians. They might be something that come from Germany or a country around there, but not Thuringians.
