12k grit natural whetstone orange patterned for sharpening,honing+ slurry stone

Description: New cut, thicker. Was 0.8 in. thick, it is now 1.8.I have not noticed any decline in performance using these. Orange patterns (mixed in iron) make the stone look interesting for sure, one of a kind. If the orange layers are not visible on the surface, you need either grind the stone a bit or wait for wearing. Slurry stone included. It might be necessary to flatten one surface of slurry stone as they are uneven broken off pieces. The pictures presented on this auction are a good representation of the stone you will receive. They are for illustration purpose only. Excellent for sharpening blades especially straight razors and knives. It is a must for straight razors. Hone dimensions about: 72 mm x 195 mm x 46 mm (2.8" x 7.7" x 1.8" thick). Weight about 4 lbs. This whetstone is very dense (ρ= 165 oz/cu in) and very hard - almost like ceramic and gives a really fine polished edge. It is also known as a slow stone, requiring 50 - 100 laps to polish the edge of a straight razor, but the results are superior smoothness - sometimes likened to a "buttery" feel. It could give practically zero thickness edge that will cut hair just by feather slight touch. At this time Guangxi water stones are one of the best performing in the World. The 2 closest competitors: - Japanese reconstituted water stone is well performing but is artificially held together by resin bond, cut very quickly and wear more quickly as well. - Arkansas stone originally mined from a novaculite deposit in Arkansas is one of the best. However, the best parts of the deposit were mined long ago, leading to spotty quality in the natural stones. They have since been replaced by ground novaculite reconstituted into benchstones. This is water stone. Wet it BUT do not use oil on it. Buy it, try it and if you are not happy for any reason, just return the stone for refund (no questions asked) minus shipping fee. For that width and length, for that grit it is the best price in town for natural whetstone. Buy with confidence. Any hidden cracks shown during initial smoothing or during use qualifies this stone for replacement lifetime. Postage paid. You’re gonna like the way your blade cuts. I guarantee it… . Please: 1.

I think the 12000 grit description is about accurate. It took a long time to flatten this stone, but it was worth it. I lapped the stone for about an hour, and then gave my razor 100 strokes and a good stripping. Buttery smooth shave, comparable in sharpness to my Naniwa Super Stone, if not a little bit sharper. But much smoother than my coticule, the Naniwa, or my hard black Arkansas. It was a joy. After several hours of lapping the stone and a massive learning curve on something I have never done the stone was flat. I honed my razors (2) then stropped them on leather with chromium oxide(green). They finally cut one strand of hair. Warning!! Do not use the slurry stone to lap the stone. Small pieces break from the slurry stone and become lodged under it. This caused deep scratches with every stroke. It added more unnecessary labor. I used my DMT plates to lap the stone. I was able to put a shaving edge on a cheap razor with this stone once I had lapped it and flattened it. The color is great, dark and light gray with black speckles and reddish brown slotches, pictures don't do it justice. Compared to the synthetic stones that I use it's fast and it'll create a great bevel with slurry and then with just water it will polish. These are outstanding sharpening stones. They are exactly as described. Been looking and wanting natural sharpening stones, these are the real deal. Outstanding seller experience and very fast shipping. Will buy from again. Repeat customer.

I just lapped it on a piece of tempered glass and worked up to 1000 grit w/d paper. After 100 laps of my razor on the guangxi stone I put the edge under a microscope at 400x. Very nice edge.
