Thread: special stone only for good razors

hello

does anyone have some informations about this stone, with a sticker on one side "special stone only for good razors" "F.G B.C" "real genuine quality" ;
here this is a picture i found about this stone, i got the exactly the same.

Have a look in this thread.

Its what sham calls "the brown escher" even though its not an escher.
Either way I want one lol.

It's worthless send it to me

The name of the stone is Pierres a (RASOIR--for razor) La Lune. The face on the label is the moon hence the french name for it. You normally don't see them in their wooden box but the box has the moon on top of the lid, much bigger, and says the name of the brand on the box. The box also says you can use oil or water and I've heard oil works better.

maybe that's his way of saying it is really a special hone

They seem to be incredible, rare stones. Congrats on owning one.

There was a book written about those called The Moonstone, by Wilkie Collins. For those who own the cursed stone madness soon follows. I've observed this first hand. I'll get rid of it for you to save you from that dire fate. Hurry though, it could happen at any moment.

I told a fellow Dutchman about these stones who was planning European trips in search of whetstones and old mines. When he looked through his collection he found one he simply bought at a supermarket in France on a previous trip. So it's possible a ton of French have a Moonstone in their kitchen drawer

I have a small La Lune double face. It does not look even close to the one in the other thread.

I have been trying to learn it for sometime. Anyone have pointers on using the hone? I had it at the Colorado meet up and let gssixgun have a look at it. Hopefully he will chime in.
