    Default New set of Naniwas arrived....

    After a few weeks of budgeting, I placed an order with Brad and Casie Maggard at Maggard Razors.
    They just arrived and I couldn't be happier .
    I ordered the 1k, 5k, 8k and 12k superstones.
    Very impressed with the secure packaging and quick shipping to Oz.
    Thanks "Undream" !!

    Nice!
    What is the advice these days regarding honing on these ceramics?
    Is it best to carry out honing on a trial and error basis, changing stone when the perception is that the edge is as sharp as you think it will get?
    Or to go for a standard routine I.e, so many laps per stone? Shave test, if not good enough carry out same procedure but only for last two grits?

    By the way your set up is really tempting me to go all out and purchase the same setup! Super inspiring!!

    Hi Lenahaad,

    It seems that everyone has their own honing "system", and I'm such a newbie that I couldn't recommend a particular routine.

    I really like this youtube video by "gssixgun" : gssixgun Straight Razor Honing with speedster from SRP - YouTube


    At some point in the future, I will probably buy the Naniwa 3k and lapping stone as well (I'm fussy !!).

    I have the same set up! Just got it a bit ago! I bought the lapping stone as well, knowing I would need one. Everything has worked out well for me thus far. Glen and Lynn both have videos on the Tube going through the Naniwa progression. I spent a lot of time watching both...and do so while at my honing station I have created for myself.

    Took some time and some mistakes, but overall was a pleasure to learn and use. I have not used other stones, but to me this was a simple set up to learn on. I'm not planning on heaving restoration or entering into a future of professional honing...but this set up did bring a great edge to a few eBay and antique store razors for me!

    Good luck!
