Natural Combo Stone?

Well, at least I won't be wasting one of my Wilkinsons now

, I preffer coffee and croisants for breakfast.

I've got to be honest, I was damn sure it was from the land of nice chocolate...

What's the upper-most red writing on the box? I can see the lower portion reads "razor hone", but what about the top?
Nice finds BTW !
I was going to say chrisl is selling a zenith razor hone as we speak.

Well I lapped it last night and it did in fact bleed purple. The blue side has a beautiful pattern. I'm tempted to re-polish one of my shaving razors just to give this baby a go.

Regarding the box, the pic I posted actually shows more detail than I saw looking at it in person. The top text says "Barber...", your guess is as good as mine as to what it says after that. Maybe if I bust out with some CSI techniques, I'll try hitting it with a UV light to see if the ink is reactive.

Barber...

Sorry for the confusion. I thought he was talking about the Zenith hone! I didn't even notice the other hone. Isn't it funny how sometimes sellers emphasize the crap and don't even acknowledge the actually valuable stuff?

The confusion as to which stone I was talking about made it all more fun. I was beginning to think there was something I didn't know about that I was missing. It made it more pleasing being in doubt and then getting the stone.

Hey, have you worked out the rest of the writing on the box?

**JCitron** · 10-31-2008, 05:47 PM

Little - If you look about two posts up I put what I could see. The picture I posted looks as good as the label in person, probably better due to the fact that it's enlarged. The rest is pretty washed out.

**Utopian** · 10-31-2008, 07:47 PM

Funny they didn't catch the typo of "can be uesd" but I guess that just makes it more valuable.

**JCitron** · 10-31-2008, 08:16 PM

Wow!

I didn't notice that until you pointed it out just now.

You got a natural Belgian all right. Like utopian I was looking at the Zenith stone at first. But your stone is definately a natural Belgian. Congrats!
