    Default Five tiger silicon carbide Germany combination stone

    Hi. I have only used shavettes so far & have never honed, stropped etc. I was just given this stone found by a friend in an op shop/thrift store. Is this an appropriate stone to use on a straight? I have no other info except Five tiger silicon carbide Germany combination stone. Any info would be great.
    Thank you

    People probably don't have an answer but, just in case it's a time-zone thing, *bump

    From the side that is showing, I would have my doubt as to whether or not this is intended for razors. Looks to be to course IMO.
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

    That stone is not suitable for razors. Made more for tool sharpening.
