comparison of hones
well i bought my set of hones now and i should be in peace now but am not.
i just cant stop browsing the internet for information on stones(did i really buy what i want).
probably signs of the RAD.
however the more i looked the more my head buzzed. there is just no complete(or close to) table or info page for properties and experiences its all scattered throughout the internet for example i couldn't find the grit size of the Belgium whetstones blue and yellow but found that the yellow one(coticule) was compared to the thuringen whetstone but only by feeling. on a german page(MST-mueller.de) the thuringen was discrirbed as ultra fine which could mean 8000 to 12000(1.2-0.13 micron)according to there own international grit table. then on the dick.biz page i did find a belgium benge stone which looks like a coticule which has a grit size of 6000-8000. that all said it then says on MST-mueller.de that the thuringen is harder and finer then any other natural whetstone. But if anybody was asked which stone is better you would probably get answers of taste although they got such different proberties(hard,soft,fine,finer) not to speak of involving the chinese 12K or the ninawa10K or shapton30K or even just a norton 4k or 8k etc. . i mean even the gritsize does not seam of any relevance any more although any grit size over 1200 is a japanese grit sizes so they should all be in according relation.
well a very long story short wouldn't it be nice if we could form such kind of complete table honing stones?
a table which could put all that in a relation. that would probably be of good value in the SRP wiki space and could be extended to other razor related materials.
