The answer to magical edges has been staring us in the face this entire time. Obviously, dished surfaces are the best shape for honing razors.
We all know a convex edge is more durable. Obviously, honing on a concave (dished) surface is the easiest solution. Everyone in the past wanted a convex edge! We know this is a fact and not an opinion because we don't have to look far to find vintage stones with a dished surface.
We can also hone wedges on dished stones without tape on the spine. Gone are the days of unwanted hone wear on the spine or face of the razor from honing on convex or flat surfaces. Dished stones make narrow bevels.
Finally, flat stones become dished in not very many strokes. We might make the stone flat to start, but the stone is ever so slightly dished in just a few strokes. So, most of us that say we hone on flat stones are actually honing on dished surfaces.
So, there we have it. The best shape for stones is concave (dished). We have proven these facts with history and logic.
This post is just a joke. Try not to take it too seriously. Happy April Fools' Day!
