Barn find
Good day to you all gentlemen
I would like to share with you today's barn find
A guys I adquiere a razor last week call me back to tell me he found a few barber related stuff and this hone stone was among them.
The size is 6"x1 5/8"x 11/8" overall, has two sides one is light grey and the other almost black with some inscription on it that I just can read made in Belgium.
When I saw it I said to my self if it is not a proper barber stone at least will look good with my empty razor boxes as a decor piece.
Some one can throw some info about it, it is usable more than a decorative piece?
Thanks in advance

That is a coticle and appears to be a nice one. Congrats.
Many use these stones to hone their razors.
The wiki has a lot of info.
There are a lot of threads on cotis.RezDog likes this.If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

Coticules are excellent, excellent razor finishing stones. Many prefer to finish their stones on this stone specifically. I am actually one of those guys. Love all my English razors finished on a Coticule. Has a buttery soft feel. Hang onto it, and learn to use it. Great find!!

made in Belgium two-tone stones usually going to be a coticule. They can be good finishers/midrange stones. Might want to flatten it with something then do some water only strokes on it with a razor that is shave ready. Will give it the good ol coticule edge and you can see what you think of it.

Do a search.
There are tons of pics.
Yours appears to be a natural. The coticle and Belgian Blue were mined as is.
Some have the to coti glued to the BBWIf you don't care where you are, you are not lost.
