Shapton Glass Stones are the benchmark for whetstone quality — used by professional knife sharpeners, barbers and blade enthusiasts worldwide. Each stone is built around a 5mm tempered glass backing plate fused to a 5mm ceramic abrasive layer, producing a platform that stays flat far longer than conventional water stones and requires far less dressing. No soaking required.

The 6000 grit HR is a versatile stone that works both as a finishing step after the 4000 and as a daily maintenance tool for keeping a well-maintained edge performing between full honing sessions. Follow with 8000 or 16000 for a razor-sharp finish on a straight razor.

How to Use: Splash the stone with water before use. Work the blade across the stone at a consistent angle in smooth, even strokes. Follow with 8000 or 16000 for a razor-sharp finish.
