    There are pics of coticules labeled Deep Rock and Old Rock. Are those brand names or a reference to a certain layer?
    I have seen Old Rocks on eBay a couple of times and wondered if there was something different about them.

    To the best of my knowledge the "Old Rock" was a specific mine/layer.
    The "Deep Rock" seems to be a very good brand that may or may not be a specific layer/mine.
    FWIW, the Salm Coticules are from a specific mine which is now flooded. There is a vid on Youtube showing some scuba divers swimming thru it.

    Please note that those are not for sale.

    Sorry I couldn't make it today but didn't finish work till 11:00. Thanks for the invitation though and I really wish I could have come. Did Padre end up with a hone?

    Since I'm still busy trying to make grinders to make razors, and fixing the tools needed to make the grinders to make the razors, and setting up a shop to fix the tools to make the grinders to make the razors, I still don't have a lot of free time despite drastically reduced work hours.

    Anyway, since I'm short on time for honing, Padre would be welcome to borrow a few of my hones if there are any particular ones he might like to try.
