Me too. but I think I would like to see and try one before I shell out that much. (I'm frugal, thrifty, My wife says cheap)

I will bring my Naniwa 1,3,8 and 12K's and SRP modular paddle with diamond and CROX felt. Since our last meeting when I had only that Dovo 5/8 I accumulated a TI 6/8 that's finicky to keep sharp, an old WB 7/8 FBU hollow, WB 11/16 wedge and a Filly 13. I will bring all 5.
Fresh roasted coffee too!
Just ordered one. Got good results with a Sharpton 30k but looking for a little better. How many laps do you use on the 20k?
I asked about the 20K and the Zulu Gray as a finisher a couple of months ago... ended up buying both so I could make my own (albeit expensive) decision.
Use the 20K for the first time tonight... fantastic stone! Fast & smooth. And the later adjective describes the shave... silky smooth!
20 to 25 for me on my first try... looked nice and smooth under a microscope!
I know that some people suggested that this stone might be a flavor of the month kind of thing. For me it's still the last word in finishing stones.
Yeah, there have been quite a few flavors and I have enjoyed nearly all of them but if someone wants the best equipment available without experimentation, then they get a Naniwa Chosera (now Pro) 1k on one end and this 20k on the other. Anything decent in between will get the job done.
