Thread: Glass stones vs Shapton pros?

Agree.

I have done a few thousand razors on both the Pro's and the Glass and both definitely work. For me though, the nod for consistency and reliability goes to the Glass stones.

Have fun.

Now in my case this could have been due to my inexperience with those hones, but Lynn surely honed more razors with them and ended up with the same result.

I really like the Shapton Pro hones though and bought a few of the lower grit hones.

On the GlassStones, the success rate is well over 9 out of 10. For that reason I eventually bought a complete set of the GlassStones, except for the 30k. They work very well.
