This is water stone. Do not use oil on it.
At this time Guangxi water stones are one of the best performing in the World.
The 2 closests competitors:
1. Japanese reconstituted water stone is well performing but is artifficially held together by
resin bond, cut very quickly and wear more quicklyl.
2. Arkansas stone originally mined from a novaculite deposit in Arkansas are well known.
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 They have since been replaced by ground novaculite reconstituted into benchstones.
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.

Some of feedback: 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. Thank you.

I just wanted to say that I was amazed at the super fast shipping on this stone. It arrived yesterday! I pulled out my DMT8 diamond plate and wet lapped this thing on both sides. Got the grooves out after about an hour worth of work and its absolutely beautiful. I polished a couple of straight razors with it, and it polished the edge great! Thanks so much for the great stone and great pricing! If I ever hear of anyone that is looking for a good 12K I'll send them your way. -Steve |
