    If the rock is a dog call it a PHUG (sounds like PUG) Peoples Hone Uncertain Grit.
    They vary a lot. I own one that was sold as 15K and it is closer to 800 grit.

    The rocks from Woodcraft are more predictable than the eBay rocks.

    Currently the price is right so give them a try.

    Someone is going to find a bluff of superior silt stone on their
    back forty and discover that it can be low fired into a very
    fine razor hone. The problem is that the market for razor
    hones is too small and the bonus is that Japan makes some
    top notch ultra fine water hones today.

    I've tried my Chi-Com stone with and without slurry and it does make a huge difference, IMHO to use slurry. Unless, one has days to work the edge...
    I strop my razor with my eyes closed.

    I'm thinking that may be perfect for the last 10 -15 strokes but of course it could depend on the previous stone used.
    Mind you I used to use a 3 figure stroke count when I owned one but then I heard some guy say "less is more"
    I have tried it like that, but can't tell you if it's good or bad. Not enough trial and experience to really know.

    I've been attempting to raise this slurry with a piece of another C12K hone made into a "slurry" stone. (it came with it).

    What is PHIG?

    Maybe try shaving off your last stone before the PHIG (Peoples Hone Of Indeterminate Grit) then do X amount of strokes on the PHIG to see what the difference is. Like I said you don't generally need a thick slurry for finishing & some finish on plain water.
