Howdy all,

While on this site I've learned many useful things to do with honeing.
I've learned what stones and grits I need to use to get a nice smooth shave, and I've also learned is that no two natural stones are alike. They may be similar but there is always a difference.

But one thing I have not yet learned but would love to is how the different stones affect the stubble.

I've seen some users post how they prefer one stone over another because that stone gives them a bbs shave that lasts longer.

I was wondering how this is possible? If the same sharpness is being acheived wouldn't the hair grow the same way?

Or is it because of the different scratch patterns left on the blade by individual stones which affects how the hair is cut and therefore grows?


I would love to hear what other members have to say about this topic or if anyone has come across a thread where they have tested this out.
