question about naniwa 10k

**ledemon** · 01-14-2012, 12:45 AM

Hi all,, I just have a simple question i hope someone can give an answer,,, Can I use the naniwa 10k instead of the naniwa 12K for refreshing the edge of my razor?? would that make a big difference??
thanks all!!

I would say absolutely! Anything above 8K is more technique than grit related. The final stropping is what really tweaks the edge to shave ready. I doubt most advanced users could tell the difference between the 10 or 12k stones if they were blind folded.

ledemon,

Since my cat broke my Naniwa 12k (don't ask!), I have been using my Naniwa 10k with superb results; use either and you will be happy

Have fun !

Best regards

I'd like to point out that those naniwas are not the same. The naniwa 12k is from their superstone series, while the 10k is from their chosera series. The 10k costs around 3-4 times as much as the 12k. They really are quite different animals.

I am confused here, how do you know what the OP uses?
Naniwa makes both SS and Chosera in 10k grit.

@OP I have both 10k and 12k and the results off both are very similar.

That might explain things, I'm sure my cats claws have gotten sharper since I bough a Naniwa 12K

No, I don't think so. Barber hones weren't made for use with razors
