Thread: Hone of the Day

Here's an update on this stone, OK, I have honed 5 razors with this stone and shaved off one, I can say to all prospective buyers, If you already own the older Naniwa 12K don't buy this stone, there is no gain or advantage, it's just an equal the only reason you may want to buy it, it's the 20mm over the normal 10mm Super stones, as I hone a lot of razors this won't go to waste it's a good back up a spare stone for me.
