Perfect for razors and Kamisori and marketed originally to the Japanese Barber industry. Maruichi was a shop in Japan which supplied beauty supplies to barbers in the region and beyond. They selected the many stones from different mines but mainly marketed Hon Narutaki, Nakayama, and Shobudani for Kamisori and straight razors. This stone is an Old stock, Vintage, BNIB piece which was stored from the shop's vast left over inventory. This super hard Shiki Tomae is exceptionally hard and fine, perfect for razor final finishing. Will work extremely well with Nagura progressions. A highly refined and nuanced stone with epic structure and density. Capable of producing light saber edges, which is its strength. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffith Shaving Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42534501875806,"sku":"1151","price":775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/2905\/files\/IMG_9478_e29d1e0d-80f1-4163-97a7-e75d2817f23e.jpg?v=1773446115","url":"https:\/\/www.griffithshavinggoods.com\/products\/maruichi-nakayama-ao-asagi-japanese-natural-finishing-whetstone","provider":"Griffith Shaving Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
