Everything I read on this forum, suggests that most all barber hones are much faster than that. I don't own one, so this is no first hand experience. I base myself on the fact that barber hones are reported very easy to overhone, which I think is something that primarily happens on hones with high cutting power.
Sorry to be a pain about this Bart... maybe I missed it... but I don't remember reading anything on this forum that suggest the average barber hone being a faster cutter than the average coticule waterstone, with water only.

Could you or anyone shed some light on this?
