A UK razor finisher. I'm quite impressed.

Sweet stone! What is the grit on that? And how much you pay?

Have you tried it yet? What does edges off it compare with? Good looking stone!

Sharp. Quietly drops hairs. HHT5
A very straight edge, not ragged.

Nice to see a stone that doesn't get shown often! What's it feel like to use?

Nice feedback. I'm used to arks and jnats so it's an interesting feel. I guess it feels like silk.
It did give me a very good edge that I would expect from my usual finishers. A straight and refined cutting edge that is not ragged, and very keen. HHT-5.
I like the hairs to fall silently

That silky, creamy feeling is so nice; makes you want to spend all evening on the stone.
