Some mighty fine pieces of rock Maxim!
Thanks for sharing.
I have a similar CF that I find to be a great finisher with oil.
Keep us posted on how you find them in use:)

I feel the need for more stones....

You are acquiring too many hones! That coticule does it for me - what exactly is a hybrid side? Surely it is not a hybrid of BBW and coticule as it always seems to be finer than coticule alone.

I tested out coticule yesterday , usually I use my coticules as prepolishers but this one is much more finer and gives almost perfect mirror edge on the hybrid side, it is simpel imposible to make slurry on it so I use it with plane water.
I have 2 coticules that do that hybrid and unknown vintage one the big on the group picture, they find give slurry at all !
And shave is compers to escher or thuri that I have :)

Maksim, your HAD is out of control! Enjoy these awesome stones. Now I'm leaving this site, because I can't afford to buy more stones for razors (I want to sharpen knives and try new stones for those, lol!).
