    Question Naniwa 12000

    I'm considering purchasing this as a finishing stone while honing my razor (new Dovo SS). It'll be used after a spin on a Norton 4000/8000. Would this be a good grit to finish with? Any other suggestions?

    Thx

    The Naniwa SS 12K is one of the most reliable and consistent finishers out there. It is also very good for refreshing.

    Have fun.

    How often would you suggest refreshing an edge? Is there a indication when shaving that it could use refreshing?

    The edge needs refreshing when it goes from smooth shaving to just starting to pull. Usually 4-7 weight of the blade pressure strokes on the 12K followed by a good stropping will bring it back.

    have fun.

    Hey Brenn, Guys have strong opinions & feelings about their fav. finishers, but for my humble opinion the Nani12 is the bang for the buck, runaway winner. I use other stones after it, but its one of the better and most frequently used rocks I have. I owe 'Cudarunner alot of thanks for introducing me to it.

    What they said....

    You'd be hard pressed to find a negative comment regarding the 12k. Pull the trigger.
