I got this Henkels a few years ago in an eBay lot. I finally pulled it out and cleaned it up today. It was butter knife dull so I started with a DMT325. Then Chosera 1k and Nani SS 4-8-12 and...

Tosuke touch up on Nakayama Kiita.

The blade looks kind of funky in the pic because it's still wet.

I got a chance to borrow this very nice Asagi for the week. I'm new to Jnats and so far I LOVE EM'!! I honed two razors up to 8k and finished on the Asagi.

The larger blade is a 7/8...

The pyramid method, as I understand it, makes no sense. On the 12k I will do 10-20 strokes depending on how the blade acted on the other stones.

This seems like crazy talk! How many have you tried?

Interesting. I told him I was interested in that Coticule when he was trying to sell it with a lot. He said he wouldn't split the lot up. Then he said the stone wasn't for sale. Oh well. Glad it went...

Here's a couple of blades that I finished restoring last week. A Winchester and an Adoration Ax. Just finished honing them on the Naniwas and will give them a test shave tomorrow. 254452

My first time honing my first kamisori! This is a NOS Tosuke that came in from Japan last week. I've been watching kami honing videos all week until I felt I was ready to dive in. Being NOS, I...

I have been keeping an eye out for a nice La Lune. If you are considering shelving the Nani 12k in place of it I may just pull the trigger on the next nice one I come across.

I've been using the Chosera 1k for a few years now and I absolutely love this stone! I'm in the process of TRYING to thin down my collection. I was taking pictures of several blades to post for sale...

Atta boy Sharptonn!

I've hone 8 or 9 STIZ blades and they've all taken really great edges. The grinds can be a little iffy sometimes, but I haven't had one that was bad. The steel on the ones I've handled though, has...

This razor is stamped "GOLD BEETLE" on the front and "MANGANESE" on the back. Where's it from and who made it? We'll probably never know for sure. It's very well made though and took a nice tiny...

Of the many razors that I own, this one is my favorite. It's stamped Chashuf Schmidt St. Louis and it's about as plain a razor as you'll find. I probably couldn't sell it for more then $10. But...

Honed these on Naniwas for an SRP member.
BMC "Hybrid"-repaired the toe after a drop. Never heard of this brand before. Its well made razor with a nice grind and it took a nice edge. ...

I've got the Nani 400 but I don't use it much. I use the DMT325 for the heavier jobs. The last two times I used it dry while sitting on the couch watching TV. Very convenient.

Got six done on my Naniwas in this session.


1. Morris Red Imp wedge. This razor was my first restoration. It was also one of my first attempts at honing and it hasn't seen a hone since....

Just finished these four up. The one with the owl on the scales is a Wester Brothers "Be Wise". Now I'm a pretty big nerd for Wester Brothers razors and I decided to try out my Wester Bros. barber...
