Thanks for the info. I have a set of Shapton Pros from 1 through 30k that haven't gotten near to that point yet. Were you only using the stones for razors or were you sharpening other things as well ? My reason for asking is that I am curious as to how long one of these 15mm rocks lasts on average with regular use? I guess it is obvious that sharpening tools and or knives would wear the stones more quickly than only sharpening razors.
