Agree. I can get along with any stone, but I wouldn't want to give up a genuine linen. Cotis need it right off the stone on the first edge, other stones don't so much, but after a week of shaving off of any stone, a linen can bring the edge to a point better than it was on the stone to begin with and condition it to something better than any hone will make.
