I've had three C12K hones all very different, one fabulous, one very nice and one simply just ok. You will also have to do many laps as they are slow. Don't get me wrong, I love the edges from my best one, they just might not be for everyone and there is a learning curve just like any natural.

Barber hones and all synthetics are all very consistent
