Dear Fellow Members-Won this on Ebay about 3 weeks ago and it appears new. Although it has a coarse and a fine side, I stopped using it. The stone appears to be too smooth, for lack of a better description! Would a few calibrated swipes with my DMT D8C bring it back to life? Per the directions, just a few swipes on either side is supposed to refresh a straight razor. Thanx for ANY feedback here, good, bad or indifferent!-Gearhead
