Nakayama kita

Hello gentlemen, happy 4th I hope you all are enjoying the day. I just wanted to share a great experience I had picking up a jnat online from this vendor from japan ikkyu-japanavenue.online - Japanese kitchen knife specialty shop - https://ikkyu-japanavenue.online/
I recently bought a stone from this store, contacting her first about what I was looking for and expressing my needs and she was very helpful and patient thru the process and recommended a stone to me. No not the most expensive on the site either and I was glad of that since I just wanted to try out jnats. I took her recommendation and also the recommended nagura and purchased them. I received them very fast in only I think 4 days. I got an acceptable shaving edge the very first time I used it and have gotten better edges off since. It just keeps getting better as I learn the stone more. I'm very pleased with it and in my experience if someone was wanting to try out a jnat without spending a lot of coin I would say this is a good place do do it. I wish I knew how to post the live link, maybe when I get more time I'll try. I dealt with Yasuko Okumura and she was a pleasure to deal with. I'll share pics of the jnat and nagura and I'll say it came packaged very well with no damage. There's also an ebay store as well

Ask me about shaving naked!
I bought a couple of narrow, triangular-shaped finishing stones from her for wonky razors and they’re excellent.
