Thread: Natural Combo Stone?

Thank the Lord for that, I was getting a little worried (puts Wilkinson blade back in packet)

Well the tracking says it just got into Tallahassee this morning so hopefully I will get it in the mail this afternoon. I still have my finger crossed that it's a natural combo. I will post my own pics either this evening or tomorrow morning. And for those who asked I will try and get better pics of the box. Thank you all for the suggestions.

So it's either a natural Belgian combo, a glued belgian combo, or something that will make me cry because I wanted a natural combo.

I guess as long as it's somehting that I can fit into my honing set-up all is not lost.

I think it is a natural combo.

Here are two of my small ones. One natural and one glued.

So much for my theory!

Thanks Gugi for those pics, based on the bay pics it does look like it may be a glued combo. Better that than a lesser stone.

Unfortunately for those of you eagerly waiting for pics the package was sent signature required so I will have to wait until I get off of work this afternoon to pick it up.

Well guys, I finally got the package and I am happy to say that it's a natural combo, atleast so far as I can tell. I haven't lapped it yet but everything else points to a natural combo. Also, I've never heard or "Zenith" brand barber hones, how do they stack up against other well known brands? Here are the pics.

Sure looks like a natural Belgian to me. Ya done good!

Dang! Marcus doesn't have to eat a razor and I was wrong! Yep, that's a natural combo. Please confirm for us by cutting to the chase; lap a bit on the "blue" side and see if it bleeds purple.

The the seller would have showed the wavy side of the combo stone on the listing, we wouldn't have been having this debate.

Nice grab. Zenith hones were made by the Marshall Wells Hardware Company founded in Duluth, MN my hometown. I have a Zenith which is very unique in it's huge logo stamp up on Ebay now. I'm sure you'll like the Zenith.
