That is very true. The issue is I don't have tastes yet... lol.
Let me put it this way. I want a very comfortable shave. Sharp is nice, but comfortable is priority. Lets put it this way. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 is nails 10 is like butter, I want like a 9 or 10. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 is rust 10 is atom slicing and to benchmark, 5 is barely shave ready, I would be comfortable probably at 6 or above.
From what I've read, Eschers do that. Not the sharpest, but very smooth. Will Thurigans do that? I saw somewhere that the two are very similar. I also read somewhere coticule does that. Where do barber's hones rank against these stones?
