great big +1 on the circles. i've got a Vienete and a La Grise that both finish superbly. neither will ever darken water. in fact, finishingis never supposed to remove that much metal. With slurry, while doing bevel work, or sharpening, the the Vienette is noticinly faster than the La Grise, but you asked about finishing, and betwen the two there is no siificant difference.

i also understand you concern aout slow finishing rocks. When i'm feeling patient, perhaps while i'm honing in front of the TV, i'll finish on a Charnley Forest, a slow stone by anyone's measure. But i suspect that you'll like the Coti finish. its smooooooth. When i finishnon the Coti i simply do circles during the tv commercials. by the time the bad guy is dead and the hero saves the girl my razors simply frighten the hair off my face; no shaving is required.
