    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.

    Default 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....

    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.

    If it is a BBW: yes. It is in the mail now, will let you guys know ASAP.

    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.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    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.
