I think the textured stones are better for beginners. There are also metal "textured stones" but I find they are too heavy for most beginners and tire out your hand and arm faster. With more experience and/or stronger arms, the metal ones are good too. Both are preferable to edged stripping "knives."
Thankyou for all you info, I have learned so much from you. I listen to you while I groom, you have been so helpful❤
That makes me really happy to hear, thank you!
Did you say that you recommend the smooth metal stone or the textured stones for beginners?
