escher price ??

**LegalBeagle** · 07-05-2010, 04:43 PM

I just picked up an Escher on the bay for $330 (with shipping from Australia)... Of course, I haven't received it yet, so I can't say what color it is firsthand.

I paid around $600 for a Y/G a few months back, well worth it in my opinion.
And I do feel it refines the edge a bit coming off the 12K Naniwa. Not much, mind you, Just a tad. Sort of smoothes and sharpen at once, if that ,akes any sense.

I've got several Eschers but I've always wanted a Y/G. Given current prices I figure my only chance is to luck upon one in an antique shop.

Right now i finish on a 12k nani , all razors are sharp but not all are smooth, would the escher make them smoother???

Escher finish is one of the smoothest I have experienced, right up there with Nakayama. I have never finished on 12k SS, but my guess is yes it will be smoother.

I would say that it feels like it does for me.

i just tryed 12k naniwa after coticule and i have to say the 12k did make a differance. i was very impressed how just 20 laps made the edge that bit sharper and yet still very smooth. i need to add escher and see what happens i will post my out come.
