    Default 1660 grams of solid rock

    Postman delivered this today:
    1660 grams natural combo from an old barber shop. Veins are red. At its deepest the yellow coticule is still 1.5 cm deep. Veins are red. So this most likely is a La Dessante.
    Has this engine room smell due to use with oil.
    29 cm long 8 cm at its widest.

    Very interesting read!

    Depending on the pressure exerted onthe blade you can get with the use of a lot of pressure arough impression and with very little pressure an almostpolished edge. All that with only one stone!
    Always a good quote as that's exactly what I found to be true with Coticule finishes and others as well, the least amount of pressure yields the smoothest and sharpest edges.

    Super interesting stones and dear gawd, what a species you got there, amazing!

    After a couple hours'worth of elbow grease the hone is lapped and looks even better. Iron pigment in veins clearly visible now. It now weighs in at 1570 grams so I had to remove 90 grams of rock to get a flat honing surface.
