Now Wade,,,if you were a Zulu Grey buried in Africa all your life & someone gave you a one way ticket to the States, wouldn't you want to stop off in the Bahamas for a few days? Sip a few Pina Colada, then maybe hit Islamorada for a few days of fishing???
Think about it, once you get here your going to spend the rest of your days on a shelf, in a drawer, closet,,,maybe even an old tool box converted to a hone box,,,,you can bet that Zulu is taking it's time getting here,,,

In the box today. On the bridge over the sink presently. I need to make a box/stand eh.


Nah, make slurry and swarf!

The Zulu arrived yesterday, beautiful stone. I will refresh 2 razors in the rotation & finish off 2 that I recovered from an antique store last week.

,,strange thing though,,,there was a little sand in the box & the stone smelled like Hawaiian Tropic lotion,,

Wow, great looking stone. Is it wet? It sure has quite a glossy look to it.

I think it's that Hawaiian Tropic lotion,,



,,,,,,,,,,,,yes, it's wet,,,

USPS, left a note for me today.......I'll pick up my Zulu on the way to work tomorrow.
How exciting will that be? A Rock... no razor...... for 12 hours.... Maybe I'll make mine wet ......

Ummmmm take a razor to work with you :<0)

Well clearly yours stopped off for a little "fun in the sun" at the beach .

I got to tell you though - what a great looking stone. I am quickly starting to yearn for one of my own . Beautiful
