I don't have experience with that stone, what's it like?
I use Norton's with a finisher.

Im buying a few cheap vintages to practice on before trying it out on this razor. I will post my results in a few weeks.

The Superstores are excellent stones to work with & they cut nicely. I love mine. I have a Naniwa Chosera 1k for a bevel setter. Always remember though, when buying a new stone, you MUST have a lapping plate since even a new stone does not come lapped.
Very nice Elliot Deathblade!

Thats a nice Elliot.. What does the etching reads?

Lol I'm not sure what the etching says. Im trying to decipher it.

Looks like you picked up a winner! Just a little polishing and a honing and it will be good to go! I have a simlar blade, it's a nice shaver.

Hmm, if you glow in the dark shaving......

LOL if I start glowing I will stop using it. On the other hand though it could be useful in low light situations.
