    Default New Escher color ID

    Found this awesome Escher (and white Arky) at the 127 garage sales beginning of the month. Got it lapped and tried the Thuri for a touch up. Seemed to leave a shinier finish than my green one. What color would it be considered?
    some slurry

    I'd call it green. Lt Green. Harder than a Green/Yellow but softer than a Dk Green. But what do I know?

    Looks good, Vern.

    I've got a color chart in PDF, but can't seem to post it here. I'll see if I can find the site, and put that up. Then you'll have your own.

    But from what I see....Yellow/green. Enjoy..!!

    My blue/green leave's a very light, fuzzy finish. When viewed with a 40x loupe.

    If the slurry has a mixture of yellow then YG. From your picture it seems like LG to me.

    So does a stone like this need to be burnished? When i lapped it i finished with a piece of 1k wet dry. The razor i just touched up with it seems rather rough (i didn't use slurry) or am i doing something wrong. Thanks for your help.

    Drop back to a coarser grit, 8k or finer before using the Thuri. That's what I would do, assuming it was a good shaver before it dulled a bit.
