I have been using natural oilstones for years. I love them. But the allure of perfectly consistent grinding and honing every time has got me. Please help me pick a set of water stones! I am looking for medium through mirror polish. I have two parameters - no soaking, and hardest... I dont really care about cut speed as long as they are the Stay Flattinest of the bunch...
I am looking at the Naniwa super stones. But thats about it. Any other suggestions? I have no problem mixing brands etc i know some higher grits dont need a soak no matter the type.
