I have done three razors so far and I'm now pretty happy with the stone. It's fast and the final finish off the 8K side is small scratches at 30X. A few minutes on the finisher and it's done. The high grit side is a bit better than I thought, I guess I hadn't lapped it far enough the first time.
One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.

Thanks for the update; I am interested to see any side by side type evaluation if the occasion arises.

Interesting and good to know! I see these a lot on eBay for around $30 and am probably going to pick up a 3K. I've looked at a few different threads and have read good things. Cheap, yes, but nice to know that they're decent.

Hi all, newbie here and looking for cheap honing equipment. From the pictures in the early comments it seems like these stones are sold under the brand UUSHARP from some Chinese resellers in alibaba (not many Google info so far). Any additional feedback is welcome.

It's almost not worth it...for an extra couple bucks you can just get a naniwa.

Yes, unless you get a bargain basement price, just get Naniwas. Originally Posted by kwlfca

Ok so I've been reading up on all your comments on the Taidea stones. Just bought one from ebay, from a seller named taqi_entreprise. He has a buy it now price for the Combo 3k-8k for 54.99 or Best Offer... so I offered 32.00 and he countered 35.00! yes! I currently own a Norton 4k 8k which I hate because its so tiny. Its the whipped dog version... 1" x 3". Anyways just thought i'd post this awesome offer here since you guys seemed interested in that stone.
