It arrived today. I lapped it with my dmt, the wet sand with 400, 600, 1200. I took my favorite W&B made 25 laps with just water, and I can't believe the difference it made. Shave was my smoothest to date !! Attachment 165493Attachment 165494

Wow. It's that nice huh? As hard as it is to find old stones it looks really nice. Great score!!!! Tc
You might want to see if you can use a DE blade gently and remove the label to save. That is why you probably paid a premium.
OR, seal it good!
The Escher is a fine finisher. You should enjoy it for many years to come! :tu
Nice! And a fair bit of the label is still there. If it isn't already (cannot tell from the pic) you might want to consider varnishing the label side to protect it (there are a few threads on the forum on the best way to do it and the best material to do it with).
That there stone could end up your retirement nest egg if prices keep going the way they are! :)

Indeed, I only suggested the DE blade as it looks like most of the label is loose. Won't last long unless something is done!
Thanks for the info on the label. I will get that taken care of !!
Nice hone! I'm blue-green with envy.
Congratulations!! Great looking stone.
