Alex,

Now to answer the question I think you were getting at. I will say it this way. I have many Iromono stones and they are a particular favorite of mine as I know they are of yours. Now they too will run the gamut of hardness and even my softest which will slurry under heavy knife pressure, but not razor honing, will finish a razor to a higher degree than my coticules and even thurigians. The edges are just as smooth if not smoother. Very skin friendly. The current stone above gave an edge I shaved with last night that was equivalent to my finest Charnley Forest. I do have even harder ones that get scary sharp.

Enjoy,
Tom
