    Totally agree with CrOx degrading a good Arkansas edge. I have noticed that on quite a few that I have shaved with right off the stone (with linen/shell of course). After a few shaves the CrOx will level up a bit but I always prefer the Arkansas edge right off the stones.

    The arkansas edge has staying power that the crox edge doesn't. Same with a good jnat, it's as easy to shave with as a crox edge, less harsh and with a good linen, it never needs to go back.

    Crox is like a chiropractor. You feel better for a little bit, but you're going back to it too often if you start to rely on it.

    The trans/black ark edge is more like a...... vasectomy? Extremely useful and works for a long time!
