Thread: masahiro hone ?

i saw a masahiro hone at the swap meet and i baught it new for 25 dollars it is light blue and has 2 sides. 1 side feels about 10k the other side i think is about 6k or maby 8k.does anybody know about this stone is it any good any reply would be appreciated.

Too bad I got nothing on the hone - but wanted to say Welcome so that you know we try to help out when we can

If you're right - 6K and 10K are absolutely adequate for a good shave, if you are able to use them well

Cheers
Ivo

thanks islat for your response not ready to give up my nortons yet. by the way this is my first thread.

I'm no expert on this but I thought Masahiro was a company that produced stones, mostly artificial. They come in all kinds of grits from 220 up to 8K or so. I'm not familiar with a Masahiro type stone but I could be wrong.
