Dear Fellow Members-Just passed on a Swaty that went for $43.00, as it had some chips on the edges-chips bad, no? Dear Martin, GSix and Lynn, thank you again for all of your input. Martin, are you inferring that my Naniwa 12K could do as good touch up on a razor as a Swaty? I also have a small 1" x 3" Nagura stone, that I have yet to use. Have seen it used with the 4K/8K hone video-Gearhead.
