Bestsharpeningstones.com... experiences?

[WilliamIam]

Hey everyone. I'm a little curious about an order I have with bestsharpeningstones.com.

Has anyone else worked with them? I sent them an email, but sent it yesterday, so I don't expect an answer yet.

Thanks,
William

I don't know anything about them, but their prices look to be on the high side, IMO (at least Nortons and coti's).

I've ordered with them twice before, Mike's a great guy. They've got pretty good prices, quality stones, and excellent customer service.

+1. Mike's great to deal with.

- I even went to his house to buy my bbw/cotecule.

He got back to me early this morning. Looks like there's a short backorder, but he'll be receiving (and sending) them this week.

Thanks for the input!

Mike is a gentleman and a great guy to deal with. And I have no idea about where you might get the idea that his prices are high. His coticule/bbw kit is probably one of the best deals on the planet for straight razor users.

And I have no idea about where you might get the idea that his prices are high.

My thoughts on the coticule prices are compared to Ardennes prices, and my thoughts on the Norton are compared to the Amazon kit.

I've dealt with them a couple of times. For buying DMT hones, when one lives in the EU, they're the cheapest option to my knowledge. Dealings have always been very correct.
Their prices for Coticules are a bit lower than Ardennes' prices.

Best regards,
Bart.

I've heard a few negative remarks about them. Ookla the Mok had some a pretty negative experience, enough to make me not buy from them.

Sorry for the necrobump, I'm considering them for an Arky finisher. Anyone order from them before? Their prices are lower.

I bought film from them, back when. I had no issues with them.

I just ordered a soft and a hard. We'll see......
