Thread: Blue Escher hone?

Eschers are said to posess extremely good finishing capabilities.
Chances are high that yours will surpass the Shapton 16k easily.
I would definitely try it as your final finisher

Absolutely the final finisher. When I said try it after the 8k or after the 16k I meant as the final. I wouldn't go to the 16k, or any synthetic after the Escher.

Great Escher stone! Use it, as mentioned, as your last step in finishing the razor. You will need to learn it and adjust your slurry as you go but it's worth the learning.

Thanks for the kind words and info everyone! Zib, thanks for the link to the chart, I hadn't seen that one before.

I have a dark blue escher and a y/g escher. They both perform extremely well. I don't think you can go wrong with an escher regardless of it's color.
