    Default stone addict

    Hello everyone. I collect Japanese sharpening stones and kitchen knives. I have been hand sharpening for a year or two. I recently decided to get into razors. I was really bored one day so I decided to try shaving with a fujiwara petty knife. I didn't have any shaving cream because I have always used an electric. I got a pretty close shave so I decided that it must be even better with shaving cream and a real razor. I think deep down I just wanted a reason to buy a really hard stone.

    A week later I had spent every penny I had on stones and razors and none of them had even arrived yet. I have a brush and some shaving soap on the way too.

    I have 2 swedish razors and a kamisori on the way. I also ordered a very hard stone from maksim, and a bunch of naguras for good measure. I got hooked on buying naguras so I bought like 3 more tomonagura off ebay and 1 from aframestokyo.

    If you can't tell, I have a problem. I almost won an auction for a nice red koppa sized suita that alex had up. But I was stuck at work and it went so cheap. Anyway, yeah I'm addicted to Japanese stones and sharpening things on them. Oh and I got a beater german razor for 99 cents that I'm going to practice on.
