They got me too. The worst thing was that I already have 3 Kanayamas but I just HAD to have that 80000... Now, what's next?

badg3r you will need the 90000 now as well. : )

WHAT?!?!?! There's a 90? Can't I just glue a couple of my others together and have an equivalent (or perhaps better)?

Ahh it feels so good to see someone with an addiction worse than mine. I almost feel normal now.

If you have a spare $300 why not find out, i think an experement (with someone elses equipment) could be in order.
STROP for Razor

Sometimes I really hate this place...

Now my nightly strop progression of wool, linen, silk, #10000, #20000, #50000, #80000 and finishing on unicorn hide seems somehow inadequate.

They cost so much...every one that owns one,is a scared to nick it...so they just use it as a wall hanging decoration.... Why bother ????....LOL

Hey you should get one of the frozen unicorn tear hones that are about 1,000,000,000 grit to go with the strop
To clarify, my strop is a homemade roo leather one.
