Sounds silly, I know, but that's how it is.:)
I'll post the full story about it in a later post, now I will finish the honing of it and test-shave it.
All Japanese natural hones for steel like this,, anything else would be sacrilege!
A nakayama maruka suita with a full nagura progression finished on a slight haze of tomo-slurry to finish it off. And then a kanayama 90k stropping:)
Now off to test it!!
