    I lapped it once when I got it, I do 5 or so figure 8's before each razor and off I go,, I have had zero problems, so I would be thinking either I have the best one ever made or something is up with yours...

    Mine has no base and is the thicker one...
    Yeah..mine is the thicker one also. Honestly I haven't had the chance to abuse it...I am still in the experimenting stage. I love it and will use it probably more than the shap or the norton. I admit that it shows up more if wet and drying as the cracks are almost invisible when dry so it could have been cracked when I got it. (not likely but possible).
    It is nice to see you fly off the handle every once in a while. Thanks for your honest opinion.

    LOL I was wondering who was going to be the one that actually read my post and thought about it I almost added the fact that there are quite a few times during the month that the stone sits idle and dry for up to 3 days...

    So far so good for mine,, and I do abuse it, I do the same for most of my hones, I toss the Naniwa SS in the tub to soak for up to 30 min or more too,, same with my Shapton GS... I am pretty rough with mine, so honestly ever time I see posts like this my first reaction is ***** what did you guys do??? or, that is a bad hone

    I agree Stingray they are the best right now, fast and very smooth cutting
