Pic heavy enjoy

And the rest

Very nice stones!! I am just getting into honing with my little Shoubudani jnat & have found it a joy to hone with. Maybe some day I can get a bigger stone like one of these!!

How are you going to use them, tomo naguras, diamond?

tomo naguras i like to keep the surface on my stones scratch free

Are the Jnats best in class as finishers?

Well, my Jnats are the best finishers I've got or tried, but that is not to say there aren't other rocks out there as good or maybe better. I've not tried it, but there are people talking about this Guacamole 20K synthetic which is apparently very good (though pricey).

As an overall comment though, I'd say that of the naturals available the Jnats would come out on top though one has to be careful to ensure you get what you pay for and it suits your needs. A good, reliable vendor is important - the prices are such that there can be a lot of "counterfeit" rocks.

I love my white Guakamole 20k, it can sub for high end naturals. If you need pure speed and performance that stone has them.

Well,

I just checked Jnat prices and call E911 as I thought I`m getting heart attack :-)

Next step it to win PowerBall (or maybe already did) and then I can get set of Jnats. For now, looks Like I have to stick to my few Thuri, LI and WoA... and you owners of Jnats please let us know all about this stones. as they look like a are very interesting and nice stones to work with.

Jnats are nice stones, for me the best naturals out there.
The trick is to find a really good one, there are a lot of junk ones, a lot of average ones, fewer good ones. Just buy from a reputable vendor that tests on razors
