I find the whole wet/dry debate interesting. I was under the impression that with softer stones, you would cut faster but not get as fine an edge with water because a slurry forms. And with harder stones that won't form a slurry, I thought water formed some kind of a buffer to allow for a finer edge. Is that not universal?

Perhaps a wet vs dry summery for various stones in a sticky? Then again, it might vary from razor to razor and based on each person's individual technique.
