Hey SRP members, just had a question about types of finishing stones. More specifically, naturals vs synthetics (eg 16k Shapton and the like). I have a C12k, which I quite like for some blades, but I find it too "sticky" for others and I would like to try something else.

My question is, would all the naturals perform the same on the same steel and a synthetic would be better or are all naturals totally different?

Kind of a dumb question I guess as obviously naturals are different by their very 'nature'
