Thread: Learning Jnats with Microscope

One of the first thing a newbie (as I am) has to understand about Jnats, is he has to compare different naguras on different honzen stones and see how these works. Microscope can help for sure, but shaving is the final judge.

As I got a lot of Naguras, I'm starting to test each one on my Nakayama Kiita Koppa, Ozuku Koppa and (maybe) Aiiwatani Karasu too. So, working with different combinations on each stone, hopefully I'll be able to evaluate how these works and how the microscopic aspects will be related to their shaving behavior.

Just to become familiar with these Naguras I made a quick test to fine tune the operation schedule.

Used a Solingen Vintage Razor, 6/8" FH, the Nakayama, a Black Tsushima Nagura and a Nakayama Tomo.

The chips on the images are not noticeable at thumbnail test, but will be removed before the real Test Series will start.

Timestamp on images will help to define the approximate working time on each step.
