On another forum there is ALOT going on about different stone "recipes", what they are made of. You hear them now and again here... Muddy, baked ceramic, and resin based. Now this is basically a synthetic stone topic and may bleed over to the naturals slightly so just keep in mine, synthetics for now.

I have tried the resin based (Shapton Pro) and have a few baked ceramic (Shapton glass) and a few mud stones. I have a synthetic Aoto coming and have been able to see that it is a very muddy stone, giving off lots of slurry, to test how this may affect my sharpening style, we all have a different style.

I was interested to hear your takes on these different mediums vs edges. I know how most work on kitchen knives but not razors. I pretty much keep to my small stones for razors as they work best for me. So my large stones are just in the kitchen.

With all the talk about cutting stones down I think some great opportunities for testing these substraits
