An amazing Jnat
Razor: A very old wedge in excellent shape. The makers mark is not legible but i think it says “Warranted”. No other maker mark found.
Bevel set: Chosera 1k
Finish: a beautiful Ozuko Jnat that is very hard, fine, and fast bought from Japan in a store called Morihei which is a high end tool and natural stone shop in Tokyo. Once learned, a very easy and quick stone with feedback that makes me want to pull it out and hone on it.
Photo bomb: Mastro De Paja “2 Suns” custom made for me by the owner Alberto Montini and of course, the iconic Zippo.
What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

Which is no easy feat, since they don’t ship overseas (as far as I know)! A great looking stone Toro

Thanked: 498 Another Jnat
Razor: Worcester Razor “edge” 5/8+
Bevel Set: Chosera 1k
Finish: A surprisingly capable little Asagi with a cool “Kan” pattern with some blue color mixed in. Perfect size for hand honing. It feels “soft” while honing but it is very fast and fine. It doesn’t have the pedigree of the Ozuku from Morihei shop but the proof is in the pudding and it cleaned up 1k scratches with a slurry in just minutes then diluting down to CW for the finish with an amazing HHT result.
Photo bomb: The all American Zippo and an Edwards pipe with oil cured Algerian briar.

Three on the stones today, the B. Winks is freshly honed and off to its new owner, been a pleasure knowing you, Mr Winks.
