The most info concerning these stones crazing (and cracking) comes from chefs knife sites and woodworking sites. People there have reported cracking in all the chosera range. A person who used to...

Quick, Dorothy - click your ruby slippers together and get us out of here...

What about a french "Special Stone For Good Razors Only" - if that Greaves turns out to bo a POS razor that hone would probably make it spontaneously combust...

Could well be, Tom. I used to go from the 5k chosera to the 10k, but now I fit in th snow white nani 8k. I like getting fast results, though!

I expect it could. The crazing often leaves scale-like areas like you see on the surface of dried clay in the summer, and the edges of these scales are often raised.

So I suppose if you did not...

PS: forgot to add that I never soak choseras, nor even submerge tnem for a short length of time.

Let's be objective here (for a minute, anyway) - this thread ceased to have much importance after post no.27

The facts are:

1. The razor shaved fine when honed with the 12k hone as the final...

Our methods of cunning concealment are many and legendary...

Responsible? More praise, indeed, and me just getting over the doc telling me I am impotent - went straight out and bought a pair of crocodile shoes, a new suit and a fedora hat to show just how...

...still got that old Greaves in his paw, too...

That is very true, Richard. I first saw evidence of this in an experiment by a promoter of shapton hones. He showed how some edges deteriorated and how the shaptons fixed the issue. What he did...

Don't pay Tom. Call the cops on him. He has already dumped the slivers in various rivers...
