Here's a pic for ya. Big Thuringian stone...:)
I either own or have owned just about every stone mentioned.
The only one I use with any frequency is the Naniwa 12k.
It's smooth, consistent, reliable, and fast.
Feel kinda weird saying it but I finish on the Welsh Purple.
Sorry for late pictures but here they are. To be clear, it is not stone show off from my side. I really do used all this stones in equal way but with different steel types. Since I do not know what stones are those I have learn used them with different razors. Also I use them as slurry to others. Sometimes works, sometimes not.. Anyway sorry if I missed an idea of this post. Saying that I think my very old coti and LI on oil are an universal weapon :-)

I want a Jnat so bad but they cost so much!!!
Well, here are my shades of Zulu Grey :)
In addition I sometimes do use some real unknown stones - I have 2 such stones, where I've only ever found one usable piece with no clue as to where it originally comes from, and they are fine finishing stones..
But really I seldom stray from the tribe :)
