probably more like, Hey that's cool it's soft and smooth like a barber hone. I am a newb.....

What I am wanting to do soon. is compare it to the Norton 8k using the same test we do here at work. basically you take a small piece of metal and encapsulate it into resin. then grind smooth using a hone. then put it under the 1000x microscope. We use the system at work to look for excessive carbon chains after heat treat, but I think it would be good to see "how" smooth my different hones polish up.

Our corporate offices have a scanning electron microscope, now that would be cool...
