I have had some problems with allergic skin reactions with my hands. I know abrasive slurry materials mixed with metals and water can cause problems. I discovered stones on Tools from Japan, Suehiro Dual-Stones, that are termed "oilstones". The information states that these stones can be used with oils and specifically mentions Camellia oil.
Camellia oil is also commonly used for skin issues including eczema and psoriasis...I am wondering if any fellow posters may have experience using these stones with Camellia oil? I sent Stuart a note about stones but I know he is fighting a backlog from some taxes changes in Japan. I found these stones on the TFJ site after I had sent Stuart a message. I will ask his opinion/ideas, but I also know he posts here. I thought this information might be of interest to other posters too so now we have a thread...
