The pictures I've seen of this hone display a very smooth and even coloured surface. They are described as very hard. This one has a sparkling and doesn't seem that hard. Could one in the knowledge elaborate on this?
I'd also like to know if you think this would be a good hone for a newbie to keep his razor in shape.
