djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 11 months agoSee, I was happily using my single Naniwa 10’000/3’000 combination stone and a lapping plate, and now this puts me in danger of falling into a natural stone rabbit hole 😅
I’ll see how well my synth refresh or the edge worked, first 😀

My hunch is that a truly well-formed edge feels and cuts the same way regardless of the stone combination used. At the end of the day we’re shaping metal using abrasion. Whether you use a synthetic material or a natural material to do this, the objective is the same. As you know, I test for sharpness and I use very high magnification to assess edge quality. When there is similarity in these results, the difference in edge feel using different stones (for me) is very small.
