I've recently learned the importance of refreshing the soft and hard and it has made a huge difference in the performance of these hones. The translucent is left alone and not ever refreshed.

I'm learning these stones but have been working with them a lot lately and am a fan.

I keep one side of my tranny refreshed and one side burnished. It's like having two separate stones.
