Obiwan-I recognize some of those stones

[Obiwan]

As you should. You're part of the stone library program, lol. Also known as the shell game I play with hone inventory.

Thanks for your service to the cause :)

[Sando]

Some more (with a family photo of a few)

Wow. So many nice rocks I just gotta ask...how do you decide which to use? I make it easy for me as I only have one coticule...
Is the red bout a Dressante? Verrrrry interesting.

I can also offer razor hiding services.

Yeah Ray, red dressante it is. It all depends on mood. I have a few work-horses that see regular action based on speed and favorable feel, but other than that I try to mix it up often. Most days I try to use a newly honed edge for stone comparision.

I can also offer razor hiding services.

Of course. :)

This is most of my arsenal right now. I have another coticule and and some other sone enroute for later this week .

[Kentos]

It seems everyone has at least one coti and one jnat. Is that a Jnat on the right Scott, it looks too sharp on the edges for one? Or are you gonna bust up my observation

[life2short1971]

No there is no JNats Ken. All 3 stones on the right are Arkies. I have a Cnat though at top left. Does that count?

[Kentos]

Cnat, Jnat, they are all rocks anyways... lol

[life2short1971]

Yep you seen on you seen them all.

[SliceOfLife]

Bottom pic top stone (tan)... Whazzat?

[life2short1971]

Thats my coticule

[Gamma]

Greenish Thuringian. I tried a bunch of Thuris, labled, not labled, etc - this one worked best for me.

[SliceOfLife]

Pretty, what's it 8x2x.5?

Where'd ya get the rubber?


I have a slightly lighter boxed barber of the same kinda stone. Tested it a few times, but since I have so many stones I never gave it a serious trial (Shaved off it a couple times... yep that's a Thuri... got other stones to test, I'll get back to it... 2 years later), still needs leveled in fact. I noticed the texture and just assumed it's a great thuri. It's like Buttah.

Testing in progress......

Did you saw the grid pattern in the slurry stone yourself or did it come that way? I might try that for my hard to slurry finishers.

I have done that as well with some of my very hard slurry stones. It really works well once the fragments stop coming loose.

My latest La Petite Blanche with my 150x40 vintage coticule for comparison.

Here are the rocks that I have at work with me today.
