I'm more looking to have a stone that will help me maintain a very sharp, smooth edge, as opposed to actually hone, and set bevels, etc. At least for the time being. I was just hoping to prolong the time in between having to send my razors out..I have a very coarse beard, and even professionally honed shave ready razors have produced some tugging the few times I've used them. Jarrod @ superiorshave suggested that aside.........ah. heck,here's his email response to me:........" hi
It is always possible that a beard's coarseness combined with the thicker angle of incidence of a straight razor's bevels would mean that you're better off using a "shavette" type razor, or the Feather Artist Club system, because these will both tug less (but never have as polished of bevels).
However, I would try to find a "la verte" or "la veinette" coticule, these are the sharpest ones to me for sure, with the verte being my preference between the two. Unfortunately we only have small bouts and more expensive large rectangles; we are all at the mercy of what is coming out of the ground." So do you guys think that'll do?
Thanks for your help,
