Exactly what I said but I understand I have communication issues with writing sometimes.

It hasn't hurt my shave and I haven't done enough experiments to get a true impression.

With what I have done I am surprised at the scratch patterns I see.

What surprised you about the scratch patterns Tim? Were they deeper than expected, lighter than expected? Less uniform than you expected? Not as reflective?

I've had a few in that color range and all performed very well!!! Great find!

More of a hazy look. A few deeper scratches but I am thinking they are left overs.

I think i can feel the stone I thought it would feel glassier.

Does this make sense?

I haven’t used an Escher or thuri but I know the feeling. Used to cotis but first time using a jnat I thought it would be smoother feeling on the stone.

I get that glassy feeling from my Vermio. It was lapped very smooth when I received it from Griffiths and it almost feels as if you are polishing on glass.

Perfect sense to me. They are special stones IMO. They give pretty good feedback almost as if they are very soft stones but the bevels don’t look like they were honed on a softer stone and the edges can be pretty amazing. What shocked me the most was the almost synthetic simplicity of using them.
