Thread: Naniwa Chosera 10,000 Grit Synthetic Hone.

You've beat me to it, English.

Mine arrived on Wednesday, also bought at rasurpur.DE
The other one is a Chosera 5K.
It's too early for a serious review, I've use the 10K both dry and with water. It both works well. I haven't compared the resulting edges yet, but both razors popped hairs very well. Those hones are fast, very fast. When wet, the feeling is very (pardon le mot) Nakayamish. When dry, I didn't like it so much. I'm not used to honing dry. I had to wipe off the surface a few times, because I had the sensation that the razor was hitting something during the stroke. Nothing exceptional, I had the same when I tried honing dry on a coticule or on the Nakayama. I guess I just like honing more when lubricated with water.
I haven't shaved off the 10K (went to the Nakayama after it and had an incredibly comfortable and smooth shave), but my first impression is that Naniwa surely does not overstate their grit ratings. The scratch pattern looks finer than anything I've ever seen under magnification. The resulting edges popped hair like a charm.
That's really all I can tell about it, for now.

Best regards,
Bart.
