There is a new player in grooming.
http://www.neroardesialuxuryshaving.com/1/These guys come from Italy, and works a particular stone: Slate (Ardosia).
Normally It is not suitable for sharpening.
This type, however, is processed to achieve the right grit.
It is particularly for one detail: two different processes.
This produces a very interesting combo.
On the coarse, with slurry is reached 1-5k ... good to set the bevel.
On the side end, with water, the natural fineness of this natural stone allows a great 8-9k.
A small video by the spokesman Max (aka Vicio72 @ ilRasoio) is the best advertising.
