    To use a similar analogy: natural hones = country girls, synthetic hones = city girls. Either one will take you where you wanna' go. And preference might be based on which you try first...

    Without mentioning any of the above analogies...

    Synthetic hones are cheaper, easier to use, and easier to replace!

    not convinced.

    maybe for finishing. but i use .5 micron paste and .25 micron paste so...

    i like your arguments. but i like my synthetics for now. besides i dont have to soak my naniwas.

    my naniwas dont smell. so no problem there.

    i just think your a bunch of hippies
