    Very interesting work. The Cajun JNat SuperCurve Master.
    Those Böker Elite Carbon pieces are handsome cutters. In my experience, Böker is one of the thinnest grinders in the business.
    A good shaving friend once called the original Woohan Grunge, Covid Classic. I am particularly enjoying the addition of hot sauce to my foods to allow some taste to my foods in my recovery these days.
    I use both Naniwa SS nagura and coticule slurries occasionally to pick up speed in backbeveling.
    That hated ancient German grinders handbook describes a progression of “more coarse, more curvy” towards “finer and flatter”. I lack that success in using a final “flat” step though.
    I do like the way different abrasives can give a visual as to how the curves are compounded in the bevel.

      The shave was outstanding. This will not just be a one time experiment. Thanks for help and all the discussions. Have a good weekend bud.

    I love the Nakayama stamp on the tomo - it looks suspiciously like the shobu stamp on the tomo I got from you!

      When you cut their tomo off, the old Sharpy stamp keeps you organized. Sadly, it’s probably as good and any stamp you get from most venders 🤣

      @@BigEShaves I understand. The stones I got from you are awsome in my estimation. I don't care about stamps - i'm not looking for collectables, I'm looking for shave results.

    I haven’t ventured into Jnats yet. Eventually I’ll give it a try.
    Hope you feel better soon.

      Thanks Joe. You can probably tell, my passion is with coticules but I like variety. I have a couple good jnats and a full set of Mikawa nagura, and I enjoy them. They give a really nice edge.

    Nice Eric. I have a Tsushima that doesn't get used much. It's probably ideal for what you used it for. I might need to shape my stone too. It's a big brick, and I usually hone in hand.
    Didn't you get the memo, you need to use flat stones to hone warped German razors;)

      I have used my Tsushima similarly in standard flat progressions. Mine is fine and silky, I believe I am good to go up to Tenjyo there and the results are great. It’s a fun stone to hone on. It’s abrasive is so fine and breaks down so fast, I think it adds additional polish.

    Jnats aren't my thing. And convexing the process is very brave ...your so right about gold dollars.
    You do sound a bit rough Eric , any flu is horrid, please recover properly 😢.

    Eric, I ordered one of Griffiths nagura. It was listed as a medium Nakayama. I haven't used it yet other than a couple of test slurry passes. I would say it seems like the kiita you sent me with the stone purchase. The top (usefull) layer is very thin. I'm waiting on cashew lacquer before I put it into service.

      I have a few, but like variety. His are priced right, if they have fine enough.

    Did you know you're ruining your razor when using a curved stone? I mean honestly, it didn't even look that keen when doing the packing peanut, you should probably go back to setting the bevel 🤣😆 great video Eric! I haven't seen anyone do convex jnats yet but this was great introduction and hopefully more guys try it out! It just makes sense
