Thought I may like another coticule to keep my LaVeinette company. Went to my usual source...almost (if not every) stone he had was "made intentionally convex". After sharpening my own razors for many years I am not in the mindset to learn new honing tricks, The old school technique has served me well.
But, my curiosity is piqued indeed. What is the huge advantage (if any) of using a convex stone?
Ironically enough, the one razor I own which arrived with an edge created on convex stones was surely less-than-great. Bevel was reset and finished on the aforementioned LaVeinette. Works fine now.
