I have the three Welsh Slate hone set sold by AJ on ebay and I know a lot of you have it laying around as well. I recently notices that the one rated the finest, the so called Welsh Thuringien stone also exerts a lot of drag force on my razors especially when used with a litle slurry and pressure, a lot more drag anyway then what I get from the Dragon tong or the LM.

To me this suggested that it is probably pretty quick, I don't know if Drag froce equals abrasive power but I would think so.

So yesterday I decided to test this, took a nice shaving edge, dulled it by three strokes on glas so it didn't shave armhair anymore and started honing. to my suprise I got it back to shaving armhair within 2 minutes and using the dulicut method I had a shaving edge within 10 minutes, that's quick right?

And since I don't think that my stone is special I was wondering what your experiences are on this stone speedwise.
