Just got this stone and im very limited in knowledge about the Escher hones. So i thought i would ask some questions here to the pros.
First, what do you category this stone to in color? grey,black,green,yellow and how do you tell witch one it is? is it more to it then just the color? like something to do with the labels? and witch is better then the other (finer grit).
The cut slurry stone i got with this hone has 2 colors. one is just like the stone pretty much and the other side is green to the color. and its natural combo. did thay do this on the boxed stones or dose this slurry stone not belong with the hone as a standard slurrystone? the size on the slurry stone is shorter then the hone itself but that might be cuz it once broke in 2.
ivn uploaded some dry and wet pictures for you to see. any info is awsome and very appreciated.
i just lapped the stone and used the hone with alot of water and the Dilucot method til the razor started to give a "chisle" sound as the razor starting to "stick" to the stone . stropped 50laps on linen and 150 on horse hide. HHT dead silence just drop the hair on the other side of the edge. (mk32) and the shave was very nice and smooth. great stone that i would like to know more about.
