That is true in general & no Jnat will give you the look of a synthetic but if you use a slurry & stop after 20 strokes the finish will be hazier than if you continue to the point of slurry breakdown. Of course it depends on the stone. The finest Jnats have very consistent sized particles resulting in a less "hazy", reflective, mirror finish. It's almost like the steel has been coloured. Seems contradictory but you may know what I mean.
