    I like the emphasis on the stone not the razor.

    At least in this thread!

    New maruka was added to the herd. My first Russian razor as well. Not sure what to call this stone?? Kiita? Mizu asagi? Hybrid maybe?

    Regardless of what it is called, it is a superb finisher that is in the top tier as far as final polishing goes.Name: 1485989291435-872447149.jpg Views: 340 Size: 45.9 KB

    Nice stone and nice that you got a good one.

    Looks thick enough to last a long time.

    Where does this HAD come from.....

    Yup! At 40+mm thick this is one of the thickest I own. Should last several lifetimes if taken care of.

    Honed up a user grade Tanifuji 40 this morning on a pure, smooth, and fine piece of kiita. I added 25 clear-water strokes after my usual regimen and the edge shaved very well indeed!

    Cheers, Steve
