Thread: Feedback

I have a barber's hone that I have used a couple of times and the only thing I could think of was feedback. A friend mentioned that they don't give you any feedback (they must differ some) but mine is like glass. Most of what I read says the the grit rating of these stones is around 8K correct? I have an 5K Chosera and there is plenty of feedback. I guess the question is what exactly is feedback? I know it when I feel it. For me the feedback on a slurried (before dilution) Escher is some kind of otherworldly combination of feedback and slickness. Sorry, can't resist this: any feedback would be appreciated.
