Thread: La Pratique razor hone

Hey Kees any news ? What type of stone is it ?

Interesting stone

purple slurry makes me lean towards BBW

I have quite a few natural combo coti/bbw stones and the BBW ranges are so varied. They are truly amazing hones, their patterns are so nice looking, I absolutely love these stones.
Ranging from purple to dark blue / gray, showing all type of patterns and grains they take all shapes and colors and work amazingly well.

They are superb hones for razors as Pithor has mentioned.

Also, Doorsch, your knowledge and collection of hones is impressive.

@TristanLudlow:

Thank you very much Sir! I well appreciate it....
Try the fine variants with a Glycerine/Water Mixtures or with oil, you can reach some more refinement...

I showed it to Maurice Celis and André, Ardennes Coticule's geologist and both reckon it is a very good Belgian Blue.

Thanks for the confirmation Kees!!
