Thread: Fuchs hones

I bought three of these on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...TODAY.m238.lVI

Has anyone heard of those?

They arrived today. The label says it is a hone for razors, fine instuments etc and that you should use it with a rubbing stone to raise a slurry but these came without. They are a very hard natural stone, a bit coarse finish. Rubbing 2 together does not produce a slurry so I presume they originally came with a little coticule or Thuringian stone to raise the slurry. I tried my practice razor on it without a slurry and it actually sharpened the razor! Not really shave ready but it would cut hairs on the back of my hand!
