I have got a comfortable shave off a white Tam I used to own. Actually, there's not a natural I have used which gave me a bad shave. What sort of edge does this hone impart?
Lapping it was not a fast task, but it gave slurry fairly easily. I don't know the egde it gives, I am playing with it right now. Seems like a nice finisher, but I will have to test it some more.
