and while not always as good as Eschers sometimes they were,or at least came really close.Now it didn't cost $500,it did cost more than I thought I would ever spend for a Hone (a rock by any other name),the question is as a lot of you guys have experience with them,how close do they come to the Escher experience? I know it depends on the individual stone but in general.any thoughts would be appreciated
I think it is really good to bring back these posts and retrace your thoughts. I was still touting the praises of the 30k Shapton. On newer Stainless razors I find it gives me the best, but hanging out here at SRP is a singularly the best place on the internet to explore different rocks and really learn to be your personal best.
I finally learned how to use a German Water stone(thanks anon. member) and they are unbelievable.
