I wasn’t gonna do it, but yeah paintflinger don’t you have like 4 for under $100 each up right now?
And some coticules too
There may or may not be some being added to that sale as well...cough suitable...cough...asagi midori...cough
I love the baby diaper Asagi green with brown/tan splotches now that I’ve been honing on that shade for a while. It seems to clash well with common nagura colors so you can see what’s happening with the slurry.
*cough*howhardisit?*cough*
Lol its a hard, not quite super
Don't think I ever posted it
Current one is with the kami. Replacement on the textured mat.

Feel free to shoot me a PM of what you have left jnat wise and please give me sizes, descriptions and prices.
Thanks,
Got my first one a Nakayama Kan Tomae, can’t wait to try it out.
You done good sir. Lovely Nakayama!
So I couldn’t help myself had to try it out tonight. I raised a light watery slurry with a 1200 Atoma then did a pseudo “Axe Method” on a shave ready razor. Checked the edge the toe was a little behind so I went back and hit the toe for about 10ish laps. Did 20 laps on my TM strop was pretty satisfied but went back and did 12 on TM linen and 25 on leather which really turned up the edge.
Test shave was fantastic, very sharp in that there was no tugging but without the keen feeling my film edges give me. The edge had the same nice “soft” feeling against my face that my coticule edges have.
I have to thank @Doc226 I reached out prior to getting the stone for some tips. As well as @Andy77 for supplying me the stone and @alx gilmore for his helpful videos and finding the stone in the first place.
I know I have much to learn but this was a positive experience for me considering the difficulties some have had with their first JNATs.

Having a little lapping session.
Yeah next is trying to turn up the sharpness, maybe I’ll try some more water only laps.
This just arrived, an awasedo from the ohira mine.
Paid just over a 100 bucks for it. Reason it being so cheap is because of the cracks.
Size W80x201x32ｍｍ

Just got this huge chunk of Ai Iwatani - 2.5 kg - its a monster but a 4 hardness, and medium fast at 3.5.
Very nice - looks like a "kossy" from Mazambic...but if its a great stone, really, what does it matter where it comes from and who sold it, right? A lot of stones I have have chips and cracks but they are holding together well.
Where’s the consensus of the “Kossy” stones being from? Mozambique?!
Oh man... i don’t know wine so I let a sommelier pair my wine and food. I DO know scotch so I order that myself. The reputable stone dealers can hook you up if you give them what you need (a finisher “awasedo”) and a budget.
