Pretty it is, easy to lap, it is not. Best of luck with the search, my recommendation would be that Keith (gamma) is really easy to work with on his etsy site. What he describes is what you get and the prices are lower than the well known sites.That right there is a pretty stone! Been passively shopping around for an Ozaki or Okudo to go along with my mizu Shobudani.
HAD is real.So many stones in this thread. I had no idea this was a rabbit hole.
Thanks Doug.Nice pic.
Unfortunately for my wallet, my first straight was a sight unknown from Larry at WD. The edge on that blade set an Everest level bar I've been chasing ever since. I think I've figured it out, but the stones are too pretty not to want them.Nice looking stone there Derek! So great edges too!
So far I haven't been bit too hard by the stone bug!
HAD is real.
Really fell off the shave forum horse. Back in a limited fashion and trying to catch up on all the journals.
