Stone/equipment identification
I would first like to say that I am very new here, hello everyone.
Recently, I have gained an interest in the curious world of straight razors, in which it appears to be common to blend the lines between present and antiquity.
I am quite aware of having readily available belt sharpeners and grinders in my basement, but discovering the honing stones was a relatively new event.
Identifying their quality and their compatibility with razor preparation would be quite excellent, let me post a few pictures with descriptions: (not inserting the images due to large size)
I will first start with a mounted three honing stone holder which can be rotated:
It is the roughest one out of three, and can be best labeled as orange: Image
Relatively dark colored, this stone may actually be light grey or white judging by it becoming progressively lighter moving to the right, and ending with a light colored corner(possible oil/absorption effect): Image
The last stone in the holder can be best described as "mixed" or "compounded, notice how its texture ranges from white to "rusty" and to black and even dark red/purple-ish: Image
I would also like to show a bunch of separated stones in various boxes:
I did not take this one (or two) out. It appears to be made from a company called "Norton", and composes itself of two flip sides which are either fused together, or stuck together, due to them laying around there for 500 years without exaggerating too much: Link Link2
This one is noticeably more identifiable compared to the rest, it has a box with a description and is very black through every direction and dimension: Link Link2
Last, but quite possibly not least, I found this one. It appears to be translucent/light grey, best compared in texture to a crystal or to a chunk of frozen milk: Link Link2
Most of these stones appear to be from the "Arkansas oil stone" category, while also possibly having a number of them from Norton origin.
Here are some examples of other possible equipment that could also be useful:
A belt sharpener: Link
Some belts for it: Link
Some more belts for it: Link
A more common flip honing stone with grid of 400/1200, 1200 being on the top in the pictures: Link Link2
Please tell me any possible identifications, and whether I could theoretically make a proper honing procedure with this equipment. I have already attempted to use some of those stones after reading the wiki, but unfortunately I am either doing something incorrectly or using the wrong stones. I attempted them on a number of vintage razors, which came from this box: Link
But without success, or atleast without success up to the point of them being shave ready. Hopefully I did not ruin any of them, such as by smoothing away the spines too much without protecting them. I would appreciate any identification or general help.
