Excellent, thanks!

It is reasonably flat. carborundum stone No. 106 is marked on one side of the stone. The box specifies that it is for razors.

So... Carborundum stones are like swatys.. right? You use them prior to stropping? I'm just curious because I just received my stone in the mail. Its box says "use dry" and it does not seem as smooth...

I could go from the 1000 to the 4000 stone I have and then to the 8000. Nortons are kinda expensive (my $$ is going into the house I just bought) but this thing is $30

Hmmmm.. I saw a 1000/8000 combo on Amazon that was pretty reasonable..:hmmm:

I am a complete neophyte when it comes to honing (trust me.. my pocket knife is only sharp once a year.. when I take it to the guy selling sharpeners at the state fair!).. So with that being said..
