Chinese 12k question (s)

[gssixgun]

I have been seeing a lot of writing/recommendations/confusion about these stones on the forum, but I have a question or two....

Does it really take 100+ laps to use this stone to polish a razor?????

Is there one Honemiester out there that actually uses this stone as a final polisher ??? (Someone in the Classifieds or someone that hones at least 5 razors per week)

Is the only allure of this stone the price????

And if it is price, I mean really, you could get a Naniwa (10k or12k) for $65-$75 or a Shapton 16k for $99..... or a Vintage Barberhone for $20

So please somebody explain this to me????

Thank you in advance for your answers...
