Ah-so ....... Thanks for the replies. Help an old guy out with this, on the website So says,"A stone that performs well with White Steel #2 might be almost unusable for Blue Super steel, and vice versa".

Dealing specifically with straight razors is there a white versus blue steel to contend with ? BTW, I'm not lazy by nature so before asking this I Googled it and did a bit of my own homework and found this.

Still want to know if the white versus blue applicable to our thing?
