Thanked: 66Hello Dave,
Yes, sometimes people like me whom aren't native speakers get confused a little bit over local names, especially if you tried to convince an old time seller that it ain't a Turkey stone
About finishing a razor on this particular Washita stone (my stone) if you mean by finishing a razor that it will cut hier ? yes, it will. Is it going to be a geart shave? No. Good shave? Maybe.... the edge it leaves similar to a normal bbw (the black stuff).
However, I got another Washita stone that You can finish razors on it every day a week, very hard very fine and compared to Arkies very Fast. Although it is porous It's still shiny and reflective.
Note the difference between the two stones while they both received the same treatment.
This is one of the best Arkansas stones that I have seen in my life, lapping it was hard work, the turkey one was not that difficult.
