Thread: 1k stone I need asap

Hey guys, just wanted to see if anyone has ever used one or has any info on it. I know they are cheap but will it do the job to set my bevels if I lap the stone?
Baber Water Hone Waterstone 4 Straight Razor 1000 Grit | eBay

please let me know any concerns asap thanks everyone

Do not own one.
Maybe it will do the job.
I will not order a stone out of Hong Kong for $23.00 that also includes shipping (Really?? maybe??)
You can get a Norton 220/1000 for $39.00 + shipping, to me $8.00, you , I'm not sure.

Sorry, not for me.

if it were me. I would go with something that is known to be a good stone. This to me is a mystery stone. A 1k stone will be around for a long time, unless you are honing for a living. I have had my Norton 1k for a very long time now. To me like Hirlau 8 dollars is worth piece of mind. But thats just my opinion

thanks everyone, i didn't know that the norton 1k was so cheap. I will go with that one...thanks for the quick replies

I personaly would not trust sellers blurb. They just trying to cash in on new vawe of interest in straight shaving. Stick to known stones. Yes they are more expensive, but they are time tested and if you need help with honing for some reason people who have them are able to help.

try lee valley if you are lucky you may even find a store near you

enjoy,

Beat me to it - was going to make the same suggestion!

SRD has the Naniwa Super Stone in 1000 grit for only $32.99. It comes with a built on base and is known for its quality.

No way. I bought my King Deluxe 1000 for $28. See if there is a woodcraft store near you.
