Nice, I've toyed with the idea of a 12k. But think it'd be more impulse than need.
Good on ya Dave.
Enjoy.

I could not do without Mine. That's for certain!
I didn't even know such a thing existed! But if ever there were a type of person to know about UNUSUALLY SHARP, it'd be one of us straight razor "wackos" ;). Lol.
SWMBO and I love cheese. Our refrigerator gets depressed when we get down to half a bag of shredded mozz., and a few slices of Kraft Singles (those are more for guests & their burgers). My wife especially likes sharp cheddar...
Allow me to feed the "impulse" ;) hehehehe...
The Shapton M5 12k ceramic hone is only about $50 (+/- a few $$) on Amazon. It may not be a Glass series SS, but it will give you a taste of 12k for a fraction of the price. It is my finishing hone, and I am satisfied with it. I don't even have crox or anything for my strop yet.
Got me some strops in the mail last night. Now to find a good way to hang and find the progression. The new SRD Strops all feel hard, slick. Guessing they are going to need to be broke in a bit. So now ive got 6 strops with 5 diferent types of leather.

My spending is done till Christmas now. But i got strop!!!
Need to make some socks for them now. Dont want the sock too tight and have to fight it.
Oooooh... Strop envy...
;)
You're very welcome my friend, glad it's enjoyable all the way around
Thanks Tom, means a lot sir
They are nice Mike, and very enjoyable to use as the last step. Thanks Brother
My coticule is doing very nice as my last step. I have found it to be as smooth as the 12k and possibly a bit more smooth. Just my opinion.
Also, I have been helped and, guided by another friend here, as to getting the finish I have been chasing
Good on you dieseld. You are a fine gentleman! He even offered his help to me before.
Found a trick with the coti? Now i got to get one of those. Ha.
I will say the Nani SS 12k is an easy stone to use as a finisher.
But I've taken to the coti real well, in my opinion. I'm beginning to think, that stones are like our razors, brushes and soaps.
We each take to a different one that fits our style/preference. And th coti seems to fit me well.
Thanks Jerry
