This WB FBU was getting a bit tuggy on the last shave, so I decided to see how far I could push it on the Greek Vermio. I honed it with 1 layer of tape, and about 150 moderate to light-pressure laps on WD-40, followed up by about 100 strokes in my stropping progression (2 grades of Roo followed by a few finer vintage horse shells to finish). I lathered up with some Wholly Kaw Padre Leone, and got possibly the smoothest shave I've ever had. I couldn't even feel the blade on my face (though I knew how sharp it was by how my finest arm hairs jumped silently off it at tree-top level), and got a total BBS shave on two easy passes.

Gentlemen-this stone warrants much more exploration. I have never gotten edges this smooth off of any other stone, even my beloved Arkies. I would rate its feel and performance somewhere between a hard Thuri and a very fine CNAT-just very easy to use!
