    I thought that was a funny looking hone until I realized it was a link. Your signature looks like advertising. You are happy with your hone and your pipe tobaccos......happy is good. But you insulted the coticule and made the hone unhappy.

    Natural hones vary in qualities and Coticules are not an exception, there might be Coticules out there that are finer than your Cretain hone.
    I understand that you are comparing to your coticule, but a lot of people here will not or pretend not to.

    Is faster always better? I have no idea what the answer is to this but I believe it may not be a simple answer.

    Yes i am talking about my coticules , two natural combo and 1 pure . I dont mind to offend nobody , just expresing my humble opinion. Maybe my english is the reason , sorry . I think , that my new hone is faster and is finer as a Belgian coticule .
    May be some people are too sensitive about coti or thuri , arent they just a honing stones .
    Almost every sintheic beets the naturals , by many points , ist it .

    I flew out of Souda Bay Crete many times. One of my favorite places to visit. The souvlaki and beer was awesome.

    I second that. Nothing beats a good souvlaki. When I was a teenager I could go for days on end, only on souvlaki, while vacationing in Greece. That way, there was more money for beer.

    The OP merely stated that his new hone is faster than Coticule, my guess is the Coticule he owns.
    I agree blanket statements should be avoided since there is no way one can try all hones in the world to compare qualities.
