No I doubt they would ever do that, that's just where I bought mine. The gimmick was on Paul's Finest :nono:

Yeah you're right I finally bought it from fendrihan for 126$ tax incl. After looking elsewhere I noticed it was one of these marketing gimmicks where they list a "regular" price and show you their...

That's actually a pretty good advice haha

Right on. Buying, regretting and selling is typical me. I've done it many times and probably will do again. I can't help it!

Well guys, as predicted.. Buyer's remorse hit me hard this morning. I lapped my Nani with 1500 (it was fairly flat to begin with) which made it smoother than a tile. A honed my razor on it and while...

Yes! I will definitely try that out. That's the kind of stuff I was looking for, thanks!

Thanks Marshall, you saved me a headache playing with novaculite. I've decided to just try my Steelex 1/6 with very light touch and maybe reducing the soak time and finishing on the Naniwa 12k that's...

Yes indeed, it does self slurry. Wasn't aware this was an issue for razors. 1k side much more than the 6k. Guess it's only good for chisels and knives :aargh:

So shaptons, coticules, Nortons and...

So would you say my 1k/6k is no good at all? Thought I could get away with 1k/6k and then spend more time on the 12k Naniwa I ordered, skipping the 8k.(Followed by chromium and leather ofc) Here's a...

Just tried stropping on newspaper.. Picked the finest, flattest one I could find and used a page that was completely covered in ink. It works pretty good! Good enough to bring back a shaving edge I...

I'm really glad you said that because it looks awfully thin! About the strop, thought I'd get the kit since it comes with balsa loaded with compounds. I saw it recommended for begginers to minimize...

Thank you. Hope it works out. Who knows there might be a cheap Naniwa in the classifieds soon :) I would like to know if I should go over with 1000 or 1500 wet/dry after the 600 or it's enough?.

You evil, evil shavers.. You made me buy that damn 130$ rock :nono: Figured it'd be easy enough to sell if I mess up. Planning on lapping with 600 wet/dry paper. Ok Bob, now I'm curious.. What do...

I appreciate your feedback gentlemen! Really surprised of your opinions on the C12k, though! The Naniwa 12k is one of those things that seem ridiculously priced priced to me. About 170$ cad for grit...

Hi ! I just recently bought a vintage shave-ready Boker which I feel dulled very quickly. The tip won't cut hair freestanding on my harm, and the rest struggles. To me this isn't sharp enough, I...
