Haha. Oops. Sorry for push!
That looks like a really nice stone. What's the size?

Yep, I really needed a push alright. LOL 5" X 2-3/4" X 3/4" Nice size for honing a razor.

That's my favorite size. They work so well for hand honing and just as good on the bench. I'm looking forward to hearing how you get along with it.

Already freshened up one old razor just cause I had to. OK shave, but not there yet at all. I am looking to see where I jump off the synthetics and move to the coti and it's a mystery so far, but fun none the less. Using the supplied slurry stone which I'm assuming is same as the mother stone takes a lot of work to get a slurry. I was surprised by that. My Ozuko Jnat is an L5 and it slurries easier. Go figure.

That really is a beauty Ronnie, Very nice size too

I cannot Quote them all but You All have posted some seriously Beautiful Stones the past week or so

All these beautiful stones look like they will last for ages.

Somehow I always compromise and get wispy coti like this natural combo:

Maybe this will make you feel better Steve. It lasted someone else a lifetime. Lol. Just picked it up at a flea market.

LOL!! Yeah, you have a way of doing that. I have one just like that on a paddle. Now and then I think about cutting it in half so it can be lapped and still have some coti left. On the bright side for that one I posted above, it's pretty hard and I just had a decent shave from it. I doubt I'll wear it out.

Hack that into slurry stones if the back isn't salm.

Hey, that's a good idea. I need some.

Just got this one in. It's one of, if not the hardest coticule I've ever owned.

Lovely coticule, looks like old rock brand

Thanks guys.

MAN, that's nice. I have a ways to go with learning how to get the best from these things, but stones like that are pretty inspiring.

Got this Bout Rustique hybrid. Real fast on slurry and what I would call fast on water for a hybrid. I think there is an LL layer under there somewhere, but I don't want to search for it.
