    I think it's a pretty good finisher. Leaves a crisp edge. I like the shave off the Black Welsh slate a little bit better, but can be perfectly happy with the LM.

    No, the black slate is finer than the LM. Dragon's Tongue is more coarse.

    Did you buy Welsh slate hones of decent quality which seller pretends to be YL (LM) and DT or you have real hones from Salmens and Inigo Jones?

    All of the vintage YL hones I have or had all had green spots. Some of the newer ones I see do not seem to have them. Not sure if that means anything or coincidence.
