Anybody used an "Anchor" finisher from Griffith Shaving?
Good choice.Thanks guys. I'm looking for my first finisher. I'm going with a Naniwa 12K SS. The overwhelming majority have recommended it as a good "1st" finishing stone.
Be safe and Cheers,

Just remember that natural stones do not have the consistency of synthetics. Synthetics are uniform in composition and generally respond in a similar manner throughout the life of the stone. This is not necessarily true with a natural stone. You might have a stone that you love, but then lap the stone and find that it has a coarser layer underneath or you might hit inclusions. They might even vary from one portion of the surface to another. You never quite know what you will encounter with a natural, but a good one can produce a superb edge.Thanks and pls give an update with further testing. I see myself eventually getting into naturals. I've used Arki since I was a kid with knives. Coti's and JNats have peaked my curiosity. I see myself trying several stones once I get some more experience honing. HAD has already taken hold...I'm just being patient and letting my skill catch up with my desire!
Thanks to all for their input.
