Thanked: 169If you buy a lot of old glued combos, you quickly see that you chances of getting salm or even la lorraine as the backing are pretty decent.

Thanked: 169Regular BBW is honestly not all that hot as a hone. It's not that fine, it's slow, and that is the good bits, the bad are nearly useless imo.

La Pratique razor hone
Kees, i can only partly share this.....when we agree that the Layer "La Lorraine" is a BBW Layer (mentioned in Henk Bos Grinding and Honing Part 4). We know that these stones have been sold under der Trademarks of F&Co. (Fassbinder & Co., Solingen) and under the Label "La Lorraine". I know that these stones are "La Lorraine" because i own and owned quite few of these stones....
Also F.G.B.C. better said it seems that also the precedessors company sold the stones under the label M.P.O.P. "La Lorraine", which couldnt be proved till to date. But iam sure and this is my "personal" interpretation that we talk about stones from the "la Lorraine" layer...
Actually they have not been sold as razor hones "explicitely" but as hones for fine instruments and tools, as many other razor hones have been sold...so if we count stones from the Layer "La Lorraine" as BBW stones, we need accept that these were used as razor hones also in the past. From what ive read Burton Rox was the company selling/marketing the stones of the La Lorraine layer first...Last edited by doorsch; 09-30-2015 at 06:23 PM.

Saturday I will meet a few rockhounds and ask their opinion. It is a greyish stone when dry, purple when wet, fairly soft, slurry is purplish.
You might be right, it looks when wet like the 2nd stone from the left but a bit grayer when wet.
