Oh, I don't know. The slate stones are fun. The Black Shadow edge that I have on my TI is quite nice, and the stone, itself, has a wonderful feel. I want to try a La Lune (which I think will be the same), and a Thuringian.

I've always been curious about La Lune's myself. I don't know that I've tried an edge off one, and general sentiment seems to be pretty positive

I think that the Black Shadow and La Lune stones are both microcrystalline quartz. I can say that, so far, I like the edge off of my Black Shadow better than the two edges I have from my Black Ark. But ... different razor types and different steels are involved.
