BTW my 12K is also white.....

Interesting. I've just ordered my whole Naniwa set. I went for the Chosera 1K, then SS 3K, 5K, 8K and 12K. I got them from a website in germany as naniwa supply them with stones without the plastic holder which is normally glued or screwed in. I've bought a stone holder so it means I should be able to use both sides prior to getting the truing stone out.
I've not honed yet. Where would you advise I start? I've got around a dozen shave ready razors so do you think I should start with those on the 12K or the 8k?
Bevel setting and all that i will do in the future. Just wanted to get the whole kit in.
Do you know if the stones are ready to go or do they need lapped? really looking forward to giving them ago.
Cheers
