I don't know if I would feel the same now. The only finisher I can compare to the Suehiro is the yellow green Escher and I find that I use it most of the time. I am not saying it is "better", rather that I've become accustomed to the feel of the edges off of the Escher and prefer them to any other stone I've tried. As in all things wet shaving ....... YMMV.
