    Nice. What am I interested in? The yellow stone in the middle; the one to the left of the bonded vintage coticule combo. I'd like to see more pictures of that from the side, bottom, etc. I think the strop is a red belt.

    I'll post some pics of that one up later tonight when I get back. It's the smoothest and feels like there's no grit to it at all.

    Do you think that strop will work pretty well?

    Thanks. If you're referring to the handled paddle strop. I have no idea. It depends on the condition of the strop's surfaces and generally, the vintage paddle strops I've seen have had less than pristine surfaces.

    Here's a few of that specific stone, like I said it's the smoothest. I'm not experienced at all but I'll have to say that it's waayy up there on the grit scale
