I received my Chosera 1k today! I unboxed it and got it lapped and chamfered the edges fairly quickly with no issues. I have been sitting on a couple razors waiting for the stone to arrive so I got them taped and put steel to stone. I REALLY REALLY like the feel of the Chosera. It felt smooth, gave great feedback, and cut pretty quickly. I really like that the water pools on top (vice my other 1k which is ridiculously porous). I tried the slurry stone that came with it also with good results. Pushing the slurry around without having to spray after every couple strokes was nice. End result...A Griffon Carbo Magnetic and the solingen razor from the antique store are sporting nice, even, arm hair shaving bevels after a truly enjoyable honing session!!

So, with a whopping 2 bevels set with the Chosera, I thank everyone that suggested this stone! I am looking forward to really getting to use it and learning how to get the most out of it. It is easy to see why this stone is so highly recommended!!
