Description: You will receive stone displayed. Could be used handheld or attached to a base then used as a hone or slurry stone.This 12000 grit (approx. 0.5 microns) stone contains less hard, small particles and more compound. So, expect more slurry and faster wear than, in comparison, 2000 grit stone. Excellent for sharpening blades especially straight razors and knives. It is a must for straight razors. Could be used handheld or to crate slurry. Dimensions about: 71 mm x 195 mm x 2 mm (2.8" x 7.7" x 0.04" thick). Weight: 3.3 oz Slurry stone included. This whetstone is very dense (ρ= 165 oz/cu in) and very hard - almost like ceramic and gives a really fine polished edge. It is also known as a slow stone, requiring 50 - 100 laps to polish the edge of a straight razor, but the results are superior smoothness - sometimes likened to a "buttery" feel. It could give practically zero thickness edge that will cut hair just by feather slight touch. At this time Guangxi water stones are one of the best performing in the World. The 2 closest competitors: - Japanese reconstituted water stone is well performing but is artificially held together by resin bond, cut very quickly and wear more quickly as well. - Arkansas stone originally mined from a novaculite deposit in Arkansas is one of the best. 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 They have since been replaced by ground novaculite reconstituted into benchstones. This is water stone. Wet it BUT do not use oil on it. 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. Buy with confidence. Any hidden cracks shown during initial smoothing or during use qualifies this stone for replacement lifetime. Postage paid You’re gonna like the way your blade cuts.

After 100 laps of my razor on the guangxi stone I put the edge under a microscope at 400x. Very nice edge. It took 6 sheets of 120, 2 of 220 & 1 of 600 to get the stone ready for use. Awesome stone, super quick delivery... A++ Shock and Awe! One hundred watery strokes to HHT perfection! I am amazed! WOW!!! Nice stone but be prepared to do quite a bit of lapping Stone is great.
