    Default New German toys

    I bought some new toys and I'm so excited I wanted to share. They are both Thuri bout and quite lovely. One is a yellow green and the other a mottled black. Thank God I came to terms with hand honing a few months back or these would have been rather difficult for me. Who said watching TV doesn't teach us new skills. Here they are in all their glory.

    Well thankfully I had a great guy tell me what to look for. I have already tested the y/g with great success so far. The mottled black is so cool looking while wet, but the y/g seems to want to shed any water on it.

    Oddly I think I had the same great guy tell me about those rocks as well

    I got Bout 10 if you still have the PDF. I've still got to put some pictures up, I wanted to have used the hone for a few times first so I could tell what it was like.

    So far I have been very impressed.

    Very nice stones, when I get a slightly larger collection, I think I will put my stones in draws, like you!

    The draws are nice but I don't like that hones near the back are hard to get out. I have to pull the drawer all the way out usually.

    I just had my first shave off the mottled black and I hope it was indicative of how the stone with perform. It was super sharp and buttery smooth all at once. It may have been one of the best edges I have ever put on a razor. I hope it acts like that every time I use it.
