    Regardless of the stone, I love the title of the Post: I got a stone from a farmer, they had used it for chytes....if I posted right now, not to hijack the thread it it would be called: I got an India stone from Ebay laughing insanely while burning a $50 bill...they used it for Chit.

    Don't get that one?

    Anyhow, tried it now, leaves a mirror finish. Going to try it on my test razor when I get back home

    And if its manmade oil stone, the one that often come in a dualside with gray/red this is something totaly different...

    I'm confident it is not a carbo stone. Its amazing the stones that nature toss out of the ground now and then...

    As far as I know it's stone from telemark norway. The place I live were one of the largest exporter of hones, 1000years ago. The closest city is funded on that trade

    I don't know what it is, but for chytes and giggles I'd give it a shot.


    Also, you and carlmaloschneider have similar tastes in shoes, I think.

    Btw if u don't have a clue on rock type, what lubricant to use? Try both water and oil, and see what works the best?

    Both usually work fine.
    Oil do give a finer edge on some stones but it messy to use and it the stone is porous it might be close to impossible to get the oil off.
    Try with water first and see what you get.

    Ty, it dries up fast so I belive it's a bit porous. Lapping it some more, and giving it a go
