    Default Rozsutec anyone?

    I’ve just ordered a new hone from Slovakia. I was browsing Pinterest under a search for ‘natural sharpening stone’ and there appeared a picture of a stone with the name of Rozsutec. Twenty minutes later I’d googled it, found a supplier in Latvia and paid the huge sum of 23 Euros including postage to Scotland. Anyone out there know what I’ve ordered?

    Griffiths Shaving Goods sells these in North America. He has a description on his website.

    That’s the one, the description of 6k - 10k is a bit vague but for the 23 euros I’m paying it’s well worth a try.

    That’s a really good site you’ve sent there. The only problem is the desire to source and buy one of each!

    Yes, and a few of those are relatively local to you.
    Enjoy your Roszutec, I have one but haven't used it much yet. I've been playing with a Dalmore Blue and a Quartzite hone.

    I’ve been using a Vermio for as a finisher and have also a small Oozuko, but the Vermio is the stone I have been relying on the most, usually after a synthetic 8K or a coticule. I’d be interested in your experience with the Roszutec.

    I’ve just been googling Eidsborg, the idea of honing a razor with a stone used by Vikings is childishly cool!

    My experience has been mostly surface prep so far, it comes nice and flat but is a hard stone.

    I have a Roszutec scythe stone. I only use it for prepping the blade for heavy brush cutting. I have a few other scythe hones that are more fine. I would estimate as a razor hone that it would be on the more coarse end of the finishing spectrum.
