Yes, I will do.
I've just received 4 razors from a member here to hone for him. Two of them are basically identical NOS Dorkos - perfect opportunity to test this stone against my others on the same blade. :tu

Official retirement? ya right, you just graduated to the expensive league!:)
Exactly. You've cured your HAD?........:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao:roflm ao:roflmao:roflmao
I've said that a bunch of times now. Then I see a poor little old vintage coticule at an antique store all covered in grime and homeless. Well, I just have to take the little old orphan home for $10, don't I? I mean wouldn't it be cruelty at its worst if I didn't???
Nice stone, Jimbo. I have one coming from So as we speak as well. I think yours is a heap thicker though so must have cost a bigger chunk of change. I'll of course post pics of mine in Show and Tell when it arrives.

Oh alright. Maybe I haven't cured my HAD, but it's definitely on sabbatical at the moment.
Anyway, used it yesterday on two Dorkos. My oh my! So told me it was a very fine stone, and quite fast too. I got the edges to a happy place on the Shapton 16K and then moved on to this stone.
Test shave - well, the first few strokes were amazing. But unfortunately I think I may have overhoned, 'cause after one side of the face was done the edge went dull on me. Take two tomorrow, being a bit more careful this time.

Nice rock! I use my Nakayama after the Escher or Thuringian.
