After 2+ years of honing with my Naniwa SS ive finally gone out and bought a Natural. I HAD to after using a razor i traded for at our meet up back on septerber29, i couldnt believe how much better the polish he put on the edge giving me just a beautiful shave. So in aprox 2weeks i should have a new to me Thuringian. Im hopping this will fill the need i have for that ultra fine polished edge.
