Haha, my wife hates when my arm hair is growing back and there's the arm stubble... :)
By the way, don't bother with soaking this stone. You can soak it for two days, pull it out of the water and watch all the water drip off... then it's dry. The water on mine stays on well enough while honing, or you can add the teensiest tiniest bit of liquid soap to the hone and the water stays on the surface better.
