    Default Name that stone part 1

    So I have this stone ,seems quite soft, laps quickly, creates a cream colored slurry, stone itself appears natural, off white color almost a beige or light tan. Edges weren't lapped, some saw marks present

    Coticule?

    Looks to me like Kansas "Hindustan"
    About a 4-6K hone. It could be higher when honing lightly.

    ~Richard. The dark lower half if a natural part, not dirt, would suggest a Coticule.

    Spray with Oven cleaner and let it sit for 15-20 mins. Spray again and scrub with a stiff brush or brass brush. Wash with soapy water and scrub again. May take a couple rounds to get most of the surface oil off it.

    Soak in 50 percent Simple Green for a few days, in an air tight container, (I use glass pasta jars with rubber seal and wire clasp), and scrub again.

    Looks like it could be a Hindustan, cleaning it will tell. If it is a Hindo, you may have to soak it for month, changing the solution every couple weeks, to get it completely clean. I soaked one for over a year.

    Once it stops releasing oil in the cleaning/soaking solution, it is clean.

    More then likely a Hindustan, clean up one side, Hindustan stones have layering on the sides like on this thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/hones...new-stone.html
