The mud is also awesome for polishing blades.

Thanks Dave
I thought you put it away with all other stones
I definitely just love it for doable beveled to for sure you need to try it out !! I use it at home as touch up stone as it brings up the edge super fast
For razors i dont know i dont like it so much, but you are weird with your razors
so you may like it haha

Some of the "red" aotos look greenish. Are they essentially the same, or is there a significant difference?
-
There is not a huge difference, green Aotos tend to be harder but fines is approx. the same. The green ones will where slower

So cutting speed is the same?
-
Yes
-
My stone is sort of red/green(ish) but the mud is a red/tan. Great earthy smell too!

Sad news I just got last 3 green Aoto from Japan
I still have 3 Green Online and only 1 Red that one is last

Sorry to be negative but my Red Aoto does not want to play nice!
I've got one some years ago and it's the one Jnat I can't figure out!
It takes water faster than a blotter paper and super soft, everytime it gets wet and dries it changes shape, so flat... no way!
It also gives to much slurry to have any cutting action.
Might be mine is not as they should be!
Now I only use the slurry to polish and have chopped of a piece I use as nagura on other stones.
If you guys use it for single bevel knives it can in no way behave as mine does!
Have sealed it and never soaked it for more than 5 min, splash 'n go is a no no, before you picked the knife up it's bone dry again.
