    Hi
    There is no advantage to wasting natural stone unless you are sure of the stratification composition.
    There is also good reason for a convex surface on stones. Namely a razor with a curved spine, not a "Smile" blade but curved the other way.
    I own one that is being ground straight when ever that blade hits stones.
