Such stones are just not worth the trouble, in my book.
Judging by what Glen said, I am inclined to believe the maximum this stone had to give (him) was a nice burnish, which does lead to a better edge, if it doesn't ruin the apex along the way.... @gssixgun?
So with that in mind, and from everything I saw and read about it, it seems like this stone better not have any abrasive power, if it's gonna be any good. However, this is contradictory to everything we know and love about good razor hones.
