La Pratique razor hone
Had to have this one:
Anyone know anything about it?
Although it is a natural Belgian hone I do not think it is a BBW, surface pattern looks quite different.Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr.

Thanked: 540 La Pratique razor hone
I think its either a BBW or a Lorraine Rouge.....
The three on the left are Lorraine Rouge, the others types of BBW...
The Pratique was shown in Henks Grinding and Honing Part 4....Jörg owns or owned this type of stone....Last edited by doorsch; 09-23-2015 at 09:36 PM.

The one on the far left appears to be an outlier. It does not have the same speckling.

Is the stone in the first post a silica abrasive stone or is a garnet abrasive stone?

Yup, I see it now on my bigger monitor. Expanding the image on my phone was not sufficient to show it. Originally Posted by doorsch

The seller of this hone sent me an email through ebay advising me that he is a member here and saw the opening post. He let me know he does not object to me showing the picture that I had copied and pasted from the ebay listing but that he would appreciate that I mention it is not a picture I took. His ebay member name is drpcollect, here is a link to the ebay listing: La Pratique Natural Straight Razor and de Razor Blade Water Hone Belgium | eBay

That is Thomas, good guy. I know him through corresponding about Eschers and other Thuringans. He is an expert on the subject. Originally Posted by Kees

I mention that only with curiosity because BBWs are a marginal razor stone, but if one was found with a finer grain, it may make a fabulous razor finisher. Originally Posted by Kees
