Soaking stones, but cuts fast, finish pretty decent, I like it better than NP 400. Doesn’t Dish too fast.

I was curious about SG HC vs HR, so I ordered a 4000 HC and a 8000 HC – the grey ones supposedly preferable for carbon, 50603 and 50803.
They arrived today with a usage note in Japanese. I'll share that for posterity, plus the Google Translate version.
Stones from left to right, 2000 HR, 4000 HC, 8000 HC.
Great stone! I sold mine almost 3 months ago. Far too fine for my applications.Vermio Stone. Super-duper fine finishing stone that’s somewhat difficult to get one’s hands on nowadays.

I am happy with the price. And even more, it is important to me that I know that some stones that are difficult to obtain are in good hands.Tis indeed a very good stone . And I think quite unusual too in a geological/petrological sense. But yes, as you say, effectively useless for knife sharpening.
Hope you got a good price for yours! They've become a bit sought after in the razor community I think - I've had a couple of people asking how to get one, now that they're not generally available anymore.
You have any tips for your CA stone? I've had one for a while and never really blocked out time to figure it out.New rocks to rub sharp things on.
A new god stone (scorpion forge mystery Chinese natural). This one in a larger size then my previous ones, I am naturally (badumtish) thrilled about this =D My dragon hoard grows. Sell me your Cris Anderson stones. Please.
Stunning kangaroo strop from matchplay. The fit and finish on this thing is spectacular. I’m trying to figure out if I’m gonna be transitioning on bare leather strops or continue to use compound, but if I’m using compound and need a few more I would pick up a few more from him with zero hesitation. The edges are beveled so the leather is in line with the wood. Slip resistant bottom. Leather is excellent and the thing is MASSIVE. I’d previously only used strops from knifeswap or Amazon, and this thing dwarfs them while being much, much better put together. Highly recommend it.
Don’t cringe too hard now, experienced sharpened avert ye eyes. I decided to give the jade stones from naturalwhetstonesharpening a shot, after running into them on badger and blade a few times. I was intrigued, he has some pretty relaxing videos to watch using them and I was honestly in the market for a stone for field touch ups. He happened to have a slab of Wyoming nephrite on sale, which was too tempting with the discount I was already using. So maybe I’m gonna learn a moderately expensive lesson on why jade is terrible for sharpening, or maybe it’ll turn out to be ok At least the Viking stone looks pretty sweet if nothing else.

Also this New Suehiro RE-153 grit 300/1500 just arrived yesterday. It supposed to be a Splash and Go stone from Suehiro. I never try them before and I can't find any reviews or video about it, so I bought them for trial.
maybe, I haven't tried it yet because after I received the stone I packed them. I will try it later after I arrive in AU next week. The information from the seller that this is Suehiro real splash and go stone unlike cerax which we need to soak it in water for 5-10 minutes. I cannot find more information about Suehiro RE-153 online. The cooks edge sell them but no info about the stone.I suspect you'll probably find those are the same as Ceraxes, the 1.5k Cerax is certainly white anyway.
You'll be able to tell quite quickly; the Cerax 1.5 is pretty much the loveliest feeling stone I've ever used, maybe even more so than the Ouka. It's just glorious.
Where di you get the Kangaroo hide? Can you share the link. ThanksNothing fancy here, just my set of SP's and a couple of homemade Strops, the uncoated Kangaroo hide is awsome for touch ups between sharpens.

Great, thank you @StockmanGood old ebay - bought from this seller, think he is in Queensland, but the price was pretty good and the leather was better than I expected.
