This is the grey version of the glass 8K. The new shapton high carbon (or high polish) 8K stone is very similar to the regular stone. It has a light grey color and is a little finer and better polisher than the standard one. A well done 8K edge is an outstanding edge.

2 review(s) WRITE A REVIEW (Reviews are subject to approval) Shapton Glass HC 8000, April 20, 2022Posted By: SteveH
This is the second one that I’ve bought. One of my razor progressions is the Shapton Glass 3k HR, the Shapton Glass 8k HC, then any natural or synthetic finisher. The 8k HC is an extremely good ‘transition’ stone from the bevel setter to finisher. It is also one of the very few 8k stones that I can get a decent shaving edge from.
Comparing the 8k HR against the 8k HC, the HC is a little slower and polishes to a much higher finish, essentially a mirror finish.
Just a great stone.
