and im still scratching my head a bit. wondering if you meant replacing the progression:
escher w/ surry -> escher w/ water
with
barber hone -> escher w/ water
or if you meant replacing my use of the escher entirely with a barber hone. having an escher without using it at all seems like a bigger waste to me. at that point your not wasting _some_ escher stone, you are wasting the whole thing by not using it at all! with the possible exception of the highly sought after norton razor hone ive never heard anyone saying they prefer the edges off their barber hone to the edges off their escher. so why not use the escher? thanks, just curious.
