Good point and very true. I don't really know I guess I just wanted to try the other stone and see what it came out like. I did finish off on the Zulu Grey slurry stone, and it did break down. I went from muddy water to clear water and then just stropped. I am going to use the razor either tonight or tomorrow and I will keep everyone posted on how it worked- or didn't work for that matter! It seems good but I guess you never really know until you test it. I am just really playing around with some of my blades just to get the feeling of honing correctly, using different strokes and techniques that I learned on here mostly. I thank you guys for your responses they always help!
