    I am unsure of the question now.

    I'll be glad to try again.

    I like to imagine two kinds of flat, there is straight line and meniscus- and negative meniscus

    That part I understood.I don't think we want to go there now lest we get off topic and talk methods, hone widths and different stroke etc.
    I was just wondering what natural hones currently are courting your admiration that were in the 8000 neighborhood.

    Hideriyama Uroko. makes slurry quick; so a little soft,

    I have not compared scratch patterns, but the edge feels like 8000.

    you can get them at japantool or japan-tool.

    I'm not so sure that the newer equipment and media have changed the world as much as the ability to communicate globally and compare notes with people all over the world, both expert and novice. This sharing of experiences in an environment like this has exponentially increased the results people are having just within the last 5 years.

    Just an old guys view.......

    There is a parallel universe to Straight razors in other types of forums that have had similar evolution in communication. In the the world of Luthierie, it stops abruptly when proprietary information is not given out freely. Luckily, the bigest secret to LuthierieIMHO is the age old God given talent that we have and the work ethic to let it all out no matter what the cost in time and sweat.
    Still, this is a forum that is not just warm and fuzzy and freer in sharing at all levels of shavers, latherers, and honers. It also has a certain edge to it(Sorry, could'nt resist, luckily their are enough of us madmen to appreciate it?) This forum from my experience is an exeption to the rule and that is why I predict that it will not level off any time soon, and it's biggest days wil continue the next day, the next month, the next year and the following generations. It has a momentum, palpable and larger than Lynn and larger than life. But all fire start with just a spark(Lynn) and rage when stoked.
    With that, I am about to start a new thread "Life on the Edge, What is Different and What is the Same". I am not going to start it with my own bias, but of a passing comment that Leonard Lee makes when he reviews a study in chip formation by an Australian, Dr. William Mckenzie. So if you have Lee's book, take it out and please turn to page 233.
