Translucent Arkansas stone?
At the last gun and knife show there was a guy set up with a bunch of sharpening stones and gear and also sharpening knives. I looked around and he had a couple of translucent Arkansas stones. He couldn't tell me the grit, but said straight razor people loved them.
Any idea of what grit, and how well they'd work for straight razors? Right now I'm using Sharpton ceramic glass water stones, final grit is 8000 then leather stropping. I'd like to add a 16000 grit water stone and was wondering about the translucent Arkansas stone as they were kind of pricey.
Thanks
