Try finishing on the WoA
After a Nani 12k, or some higher grit finisher, finish on the WoA...I think the stone is one of the nicest out there. For me, was a very light, crisp, uber smooth shave, with a strong hint of the Escher "mellow" in it if I could make the comparison.
I've also gone ToS then WoA and also had great results.....congrats on some great finds.
I can see the "rivers" on the WoA, total giveaway for a WoA....awesome find.

I'll do that for sure! These are going to keep me good and busy for a while, so much fun to learn. When I found these they were all so dirty I couldn't see any identifying features, except I could tell what the coti was. I started cleaning and lapping and certainly didn't expect to discover a ToS and a WoA! I never though I would actually ever own either of them. Giddy!!!

I understand as Jimmy says, the "snakeskin" ToS are around, you can order them I believe from a UK seller...the WoA on the other hand, I understand to extremely difficult to find....I've only experimented with mine on a few razors, so will be very interested to hear what your experience is with the WoA.

Touch up on this Portland Razor Co. Hydra. This C-Mon hone really took the edge to the next level after a Norton 8k.

I did some honing tonight, two touch ups and two full progresss. I'm still a rookie, but am finally getting some nice edges. I'm doing Naniwa 1k, Norton 4K/8K, Naniwa 12K and think I'll stay that way for a while. I'm trying to avoid the stone rabbit hole[emoji3]
