This is a Breath of Fresh Air! :
I've written time and time again that if you can't get a CCC (Clean Close Comfortable) shave off of a 8K hone then you are just throwing money down a rat hole by purchasing a higher grit hone.
As was said by the old French knight toward the end of the movie 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'--"You have chosen--'Wisely" as that Naniwa 12K is a real workhorse!
I've sent hundreds of razors back to their owners with a Naniwa 12K edge and never a single complaint.
As Glen has said; Synthetics are a Science; Naturals are a Romance.
For consistency the synthetics are the way to go.
With that said, if you have some funds that you don't mind spending on a White Elephant for a rock that may end up as a paperweight; then you can 'Play' with the naturals.
Again, thank you for taking the time to learn the 8K before going higher and congratulations for having the foresight to purchase that Naniwa 12K as you will never regret that decision.Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdin’s cave of 'stuff'.
