Fine Oilstones: Missarka. Are they good?

[Papilio]

I use my stnes with soapy water. Not the same as oil. But for me that works much better than pure water.

FortyTwoBlades : Good to hear that you like Zische stones. Even in Germany they are underrated and most guys use fancy Japanese stones.

A good soap to use is scent-free laundry detergent since it's formulated not to suds up.

That is good advice. Thank you. I will check that.
One thing I like about using soapy water on MissArka stones is that they are easy to clean with an eraser.
