2nd tip - try to add a coupe of drops of cleanser and with a little doze of water cover all surface of the stone.
You will see does it work or not: if it works there will be a darker spot due to water absorbation.
I think you are reading my question incorrectly, there's nothing wrong with the 20K it works perfectly well I use it to hone hundreds of razors each year, and the stone gets lapped on a regular basis, I'm just wondering does the stone absorb any water as it doesn't appear to.
