Enjoying a 3 day weekend getting aquatinted with some of my stones. I'm a beginner honer but thanks to this forum I have gotten so much better. The razors in my rotation are no problem I have had trouble with setting bevels but practice and learning makes perfect. I just set a nice bevel on a torrey I got from eBay a couple of years ago! very happy indeed.

Touched up my King Pelican 14 symmetrical western kamisori on a vintage Hatanaka Hatahoshi Nakayama, koma and tomo nagura. A 2% stone, finer than it's hardness would indicate and a joy to hone on.
Happy New Year everyone, may all your edges be smooth and your lather creamy.
Cheers, Steve

My current fascination is this Nakayama Iromono Level 4+
Or some "colorful laundry" from "Nakayama Mine" a somewhat 'soft' stone at 4+ that feels even softer to the touch and steel, but does not bleed slurry like a 3+. It has to be commanded out of the stone, and is light at that. So velvety soft and smooth and very fine are the particles that it's a wonderful example of older stock finishing stones. I took this ebay DORKO that I walked multiple frowns out on a 3k Shapton Glass and just said "in time" to the remaining smile over honed into the toe and heel- dropped it down on this and wham. Done in 12 minutes. Polished bevel, nice and shiny and dry shaved my right side and upper lip and neck and then went dry atg right from the stone, no strop. It's a silent hair killer and comfortable atg dry.
The edge is so crazy smooth and satin like and it felt so great that I had to force myself to stop because I wanted to save some hair for other blades and stones. I can't wait to shave off this stone for the next month. It's not some bonus to not have to strop, stropping is great- but I don't want to strop it because it's perfect and anything other than perfect- isn't.
Also took Jonathan's advice and got a digital microscope for far cheaper than it'll cost me to outfit my full size scopes for digital- cant wait to use it to image some pics of this stones bevels.
