This stone is non-porous, needs no pre-soaking and should be stored dry. As soon as you put a little water on its surface, it is ready for use. Start the sharpening and you'll rub some clay off the stone. The clay, the garnets it contains, and the water, will create a thin, very abrasive slurry.
This stone, because it is non-porous, can not clog or become glazed.
With harder, porous stones, only the top face of the abrasive may be effective until it separates and, along with steel debris, clogs the pores of the stone.
The obtuse facet edges of the round and oval garnets abrade the steel without the gouging that is common with more acutely angled abrasives. This leaves the steel with a much smoother polish and a noticeably finer edge.
This combination of speed and fine finish is unique. Unless you have used this stone, you won't believe how quickly you can put an edge on your razor.
If this stone's surface ever becomes uneven, simply lay some sandpaper on a flat surface, (like a piece of glass), and sand the surface of the stone level again.
