Nice stone Jens, now you can send me all your vintage stones so that you aren't tempted whilst learning this one. Oh, the one you swapped is now in the UK with my brother and will be winging its way to Japan in the spring!
Thank you Paul. I'm pretty sure you have much more stones than me.
. I hope your brother will have fun honing on it. Now I'm of to the hone to get my Bartmann shave ready. 
200x50 La Grise
Nice one Scott. There's been a lot of larger stones as of late.
Gentlemen, all very nice! Hopefully they will be the ones you were looking for and give you some nice smooth edges.
I see so many here showing their entire collection so I also made a picture of al my natural stones.
Up top is my newest 200x60 selected la grise. On the left is my damaged natural combo. It's 220x55 (bought this one as it is, cracked and loose from BBW together with the bout between the wooden bords). Below the damaged one is my 100x40 selected la grise. Next to it a really white one of 140x30 next to it is a toothpick coticule and a bout wich is my best finisher. And last but not least is the one I use for kitchen knives. That one is 190x40. There also is one BBW in frame but did not use that one yet.

Nice collection Jens, I reckon even your knife coti would be someone else's best coti!
Hi
i am sorry for the cracked stone. Maybe you can fit him with glue? if not you can cut 2 smaller stones out of it.
for my interest, where you can get this nice unice coticule? all i see in the stores are the yellow boring things

I got the cracked one and the bout from someone who was selling old barbershop items from a family member who once was a barber. So I did not buy it in a store. I think I can reglue them and fill the crack. And if not I can indeed cut it into 2 stones.

I am anxiously waiting on an 8x3 from Jon. Cant wait to post!
Thats a nice stone Nick. I have used it and he's gonna regret this one... But you on the other hand....Score!!!
I saw Heljen post a pic of his "coticule family", so I figured I'd share mine. The two rectangular ones in the front left are vintage combos. Then there's a La Dressante bout to the back left, a La Grise natural combo back center, 3 large slurry stones back right, and another La Dressante (I think!) front right. The center one in the box is Scott's (and Gary's) old La Petite Blanche...I love each one for a different reason!
The bout in the upper left is perfect for circles. Nice collection JP.
Nice collection JP, I'm gonna have to take some pics of all of mine too, I don't have a family picture at the moment!
the one in the midle is from ben young or? the one in the wooden box
Only the 2 La Grise with slurry stones come from Ardennes. The rest are vintage found on ebay and sites like that.
