with water it's prefinishing with oil I would say it's finishing. Cause with oil I get a much closer shave.
I personally enjoy using all my natural stones.

How do you like working a 6*3 stone? Do you wish it was a 8*3?

He cut it in half the long ways made it be 12by 1 1/2. I really like honing on it.
I really like the width of it. Though I don't end up using the whole length.

I'm with ya, I like a narrower hone too. Most of mine I had cut 8x2

considering a purchase

Well I just bought a set from Dan's. Soft/Med/Black. Here's hoping .

Truth be told I just put an awesome edge on a pocket knife with my last remaining Ark. I have no idea what it is - I think it's a med or fine. Either way, I really like a knife with an Ark edge. If it gives me a great shave too - all the better .
