Any person who has the honing skill necessary to take either stone to it's potential; would find out that all three can deliver as a finisher.
IMO, too many factors are at play to make a blanket statement, in a thread, as to which is the best finisher.
+1...Couldn't agree more! "BETTER" is a way too subjective word when it comes to finishers as a blanket concept. I've tried all three, and they all will deliver a very nice polished and shave ready edge. The one thing they all have in common ( these three examples of finishers) is that they require a high number of laps to get the most out of them.
+ 2 I only have 1 of the 3 but I know the other guys really well :<0)
Not sure about the zulu but arkies performance are dependant on the degree to which they are lapped.
I've heard a properly surfaced black or trans is quite the amazing finisher.
i dont know about the other 2 but i liked to hone on my Zulu , i prefer a coticule edge so unless i go to my thuri after the coti , my finishing stops there ..lol
If you like honing with water, pick the Zulu. If you like honing with oil, pick the Ark. I like the arks better, but that's just an opinion.
What davew said.
Ok, I've about changed my mind on the zg. Now I'm thinking either Arkansas or Apache.
