Thanks!
I cleaned the stone with oven cleaner. It took about 30 seconds and it was clean. I scrubbed some more, but that was it. I then soaked it in degreaser and left it there for a while. Nothing happened. The degreaser was just clean.
This is the result:
Attachment 324608
After reading about arks I've decided to leave it as is and try it with a razor. I contacted the seller and he doesn't know what stone it is. He only knows that it is an old stone and that it has been used to hone razors.
My Thomas Turner razor needs a refresh and I think it is a good candidate to test the stone.
Anything else I should know before I start?
