Let's see.... We've heard all this before. This guy is trying to "save" everyone from the horrors of flat stones that have served us all well. The motivation is only to stir the pot AGAIN and maybe get a sale of a "specially" custom stone..and for the low low low price of x we even have the matching lapping plate for ya! Maybe for a couple bucks.more he can have matching pin stripes added to both. You thought you were shaving all these years. Those whiskers that went down the drain and your cleanly shaven face is all an illusion. Lol.
