Should we change the club to Vintage Boxed Natural Hones?
Duh, here is a traveler's boxed "Coticule" on a covered paddle, Finally....

The stone is about 1.5" x 4.25" in size. It does eave a nice edge for shaving with the final strokes on water only, after dilution.
Trying to decide which is better. On the one hand it would be alright to have a stand alone thread devoted to the coticule, and another to various naturals, on the other hand it would dilute the attention paid from one to the other. It would also be cool to have a thread devoted to all types of vintage hones, all in one place. Your call ? :thinking:
I like pretty pictures so naming the thread is up to the owner!
Me, rocks in head!

Ok now.....great decision....
Vintage Boxed "Genuine Blue Sharpening Stone" not sure about it till now. Its quite fine, but probably not the best to be used on straight razors. It leaves a very sharp but also harsh edge....
