Interesting, but the Zulu grey and the silkvein appear to be different animals judging by the Zulu grey website and the pictures contained there. I wonder if Mike's made any progress with the Silkvein.

It sounds like the Silkvein was almost a limited run based on supply. Maybe it's just not as common and they come & go as they're mined and cut. Was it determined if there were variances in these stones based on color?

I'm not well versed on its history & production,,, I've got about 8 razors finished on it & I'm happy with the results.

I just shot off and email to Michael to get more info. Like others I'm a fan of varied stones and this one sounds like fun.

They are not listed for sale and no pics on the site yet. Just a space for them :<0| I think Donald Trump is buying them all up for flooring in his new hotel next to the White House
Sorry my imagination kicks in sometimes and I can't help it. I also imagine that would be a great place for a razor meet. If they didn't mind 200 guys laying on the lobby floor water squirt guns in 1 hand and a straight in the other.
On a serious note: I use my Zulu with every razor I hone. It puts that buttery feeling back in my Sheffield s and even puts a little in my German steel.Last edited by 10Pups; 02-14-2016 at 03:18 AM.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
