Kidding aside, If you look at the old price lists that have been posted on the forums from time to time, you'll notice that the yellow/green was significantly more expensive than the others. I've seen three of them with the y/g end label + an additional label on the other end that read "guaranteed soft." So what does that mean ? Well the old barber Frank Natale told me that the best coticules were those soft enough to mark with your finger nail.
Dunno if that is true, but I believe that the softer stone would renew abrasive more and therefore cut faster. Now on that particular stone ......... See the box ! Isn't it beautiful !! Besides that, it gets my razors feeling smooth yet plenty sharp, but I'm a fool for red boxes. ......... ;)
