    Not bad, knife sharpeners sometimes talk about increased feel from a natural stone as opposed to artificial ones. Maybe better slurry and water retention.

    Very few people here have used a natural Japanese stone for str8 razors. I doubt that you will get much advice. They are rather expensive and difficult to grade.
