mbnu54 said:Thanks Jamie, I shall have to have a think on that, as my honing skill progresses I would like to try some other stones. I was thinking a coti next, but not totally sure at the present. With my silly working hours I only really have the time to practice with a straight once a week, so its a slow process to become skilled enough to try shaving with the razors I'm honing:icon_razz:

Wish I'd known they were that good before shelling out on my Sharon glass 16k.
I do think the naniwas are better stones. This being natural as well may vary slightly I use it straight after a Chinese 13k and it works a treat with several slurry stones. Just a cheaper option perhaps.Jeltz said:trench said:Nishy said:I have the 15k welsh natural 3' honing stone around £30 of eBay, new. Does the job fantastically.

Its a good stones and produces a nice shaving edge but my 12K Naniwa improves the edge from from it so I would its not 15K (equivalent).

Michael that's why I purchased the Snow White half the cost of the Chosera 10K and many honers say it's as good as the Chosera 10K, the Snow White is my favourite stone you won't believe how quick that cuts for a 8K plus my Naniwa 8K could never polish an edge as good as that Snow White stone does.
So you are advising people to buy the Snow White even though you have not used it yet?tonybee46 said:I love The Naniwa's. My current setup is chosera 800, 2k, 5k, ss10k and a Gokumyo 20k. I currently have a 8k Snow White on order to replace the SS 10k as it clogs up to much. So my advice would be the Snow White. I had some trouble locating one, in the end I was able to order one at Amazon Germany with free delivery to the Netherlands.

I've looked on Amazon germany and one that's available looks the same as the yellow 8000 I already have.
tonybee46 said:You are right Rob, looking back at my post I should not have put it that way. As I was only trying to point out where you could buy the Snow White at the moment an advise should have been left out.
