    Once you lapped it,,, work it in after an 8K,,, see how it shaves,,
    if it's the same stone as mine,,, it was a beast to lap with a DMT 325.

    A Washita isn't soft and neither is a "soft" Arkansas, in terms of how it feels to the touch and even how it feels under a blade. It is coarser than a soft Ark which is finer than a Washita, but not as fine as a "hard" Ark or a Translucent, or a Black Hard Ark, reputed to be the finest of all of the Arks. All Arks are slow IME.
